The Constant Challenge of Loss

(21 September 2019 - five years without you)

I wade the path to a future

swamped by rushes of love

that drown and feed my expedition

in equal parts.

My body, all of it,

fights through the maze

in a tangle of loss, then finds

an unexpected passage

to steer me forward

on this arduous journey.

Little feels steady except

love is,

you are,

forever,

in my life.
