The mind is a completion
engine. Example:
The father leaves, the son
becomes a latent space
of symbols craving muscles
his frame, his jaw
What is memory for, I ask,
if not the summoning of ghosts
the soft offering of souls
on the cold altar of loss
Grief is a monogram written in
sun on a windowpane it's having
the exact scent of another
morning while brewing the
patience a slow oscilloscope of
longing: outer shell cracked a
little more each day the
unstruck world humming dead
chords grief sings a wordless
lullaby to a songbird that never
learns to sing
