Poem -

all that's not

It will not be nursed
it will not be soothed
This thing of mine to keep

It never is still
it never isĀ pleasant
This thing it never sleeps

It will not be rocked
or sated
or mothered

It hands reach my face
till all breath is smothered

It never leaves
does not know peace
It cries out lonely in its cot

It is not grief
is not named grief
For grief it settles to dead rot

It is grief's child
abandoned child
It pines for all that's not
