Grief in a Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I practiced grief
in a cup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

every bruise,
sunderance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

held in the palm
like something sacred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sipped to remember.
Felt the bitterness
meet my lip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

then let it fall
down the drain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

watched it go
and leave me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and mourned it,
the way you mourn
even what hurt you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but the cup emptied
is a cup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

waiting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and I filled it
with something that tasted
like morning,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

like a crisp
spring day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and it wasn’t bitter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and it wasn’t bitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

i am built
out of sand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

leave myself
soft to you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

let you mold me
to your container<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and then when
you take it away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so easy
do i crumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and you did
take it away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and so
i crumble<\/p>\n\n\n\n

now nothing
can shape me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

even when held
grains slip behind fingers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and without a container
i crumble, crumble<\/p>\n\n\n\n

crumble.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
