Grief
By Geeta Varma
[27/07, 10:47 am]
grief
enters, settles
a trespasser in my territory
stays, stretched out
into infinite depth, burning
my eyes, my heart, the desire to see
once again, the same you.
​
[27/07, 11:02 am]
unsettling waves
try to bind, circle my feet that
dig into the sand, topple me
I have no desire to fly
or to surf
on trembling seas
away from the shores
that ground me
