Grief crept in on me

it seeped into my knees

Don't tell me it takes

months

years

to forget how I've become

this ______

far beyond me to define something

that changes as quickly as it's name is uttered

I'll never get a chance like

that again

to become a force

that death will shake his head and

leave parts of me behind

It may have been the only real pieces of me

that ever really existed.
