Unraveling
after the death
like a rope turning into grief-torn wisps
The hot tears
of never-going-to-see-her-again
splashing on passers by
as if a funeral couldn’t possibly contain the torrent.

Grief splashes on a future that isn’t
My little brother died at 18. This describes the emotion to a tee. Thanks for your prose.
I like Seether, a lot. Crying for another who cannot cry for themselves…that says a lot. Thanks.
This one is a tearjerker. So sad to lose someone.
Very sad, but beautiful 55.
This was so well-done, but heartbreaking as I just recently lost my mother…
Sad to lose anyone we love.
The grief is keenly portrayed here…crying for someone else..especially heartbreaking.
Oh, heartbreakingly well done.
Oh so sad. The splash on the future that isn’t–reminds me of rain against a gravestone. So so sorry. K.

Yikes! very sad- and I hate crying- thanks for sharing.
Just doing some blog reading. I’ll have a post for the hunt…photo that is.
Wow, Alice. This is really heartbreaking. Beautifully done.
