My second poem for discussion Thursday August 1 2024: Unwelcome Morning.

I wrote this very quickly this afternoon and have not spent time revising it. Yet.

Unwelcome Morning

Points of brittle light
strike my face; pain enters
as memory returns.
I’d rather be wrapped in dreams
then face these empty rooms.

How do people
do it? Go on and on and on
without the one who shared
everything?

Except how to live without her.
