jane with significant loss?

they tell me this,
they tell me,
first there is the denial.

oh no, i say.
i know.

then they tell me,
you're beginning to feel
the ball of fire - the
anger.

no, no anger.
only love.

hah! they scoff, they
tell me i must be
bargaining, i must be
wagering this for that -

i sigh & say
just helplessness.

& then they get to the
depression,
they tell me what pills
would be nice to take,
a concocted cocktail
of cranial cures.

i explain
that i know depression,
how it haunted me
for years,
years of feeling nothing.
i am sure this is
not the numbness
i know.

well, they say, well
there's only one step left,
& that's
acceptance.
do you accept
your situation? they
ask.

but i'm already
walking away,
because there exists no
explanation
for how i'm feeling,
the sinking inside,
the heatrbreak - it's grief,
i know. & it's a rollercoaster.

but nothing like the
exhileration
i said it could be.

unhinged pills are surely the best way to deal
a physical cure for an emotional problem
that makes sense




i generally curl up in my bed
and cry
while listening to music
that is conducive to crying
i.e. sad sappy love songs

i have recently made a playlist
for such things
if you'd like me to send it to you



or
if you like kids
spend time with some little ones
like old enough to talk and walk
but not old enough to be in school little ones
something about the purity and honesty
of kids
cheers me up
even if it's only for a bit
(i've been getting good hugs from bridget lately;
that's always a plus)
