Refusal to mourn
Swallowing your gut,
You quietly stand up,
Though trembling, your sore legs,
Refuse to sit on this spot.
Feeling impassive and
Slightly fidgety,
Your heart begins to hurt,
And yet despite your calm facade
You felt emotions--
Way worse than when you said 'hello',
Or when you told the air 'goodbye'
Expecting to hear it whisper back,
But the air could be
as silent as the night
Or as the scorching sun,
And only bitter cold
Or ever raging heat
Could slap you in the face--
Or maybe nothingness--
To say, there were no traces left
Of you and the wall that formed--
But that too seems folly.
And there can only be
Blight wisdom in ambiguity.
