A Memorial Day Poem
Maybe grief needs ritual, as music Embraces rules that turn sound into song. Maybe if one trusts that one won't lose it, One can turn away, though grief be strong. Reserve, then, days for rituals of mourning In which one may allow the flood of grief Again to inundate the heart, restoring Life to deserts thirsting for relief. Dance depends on choreography As pain declares its sovereign right to be, Yet performs with grace restrained and brief.
