The Spine of Gratitude

Grief gathered me to my heart.

Reminded me clocks die.
Love keeps longer than we do.

In that wake of earth,

heaped soil
crowned by flowers, pure blood-red.

My heart breathed,
quaking open.

You and me
spilled out

my eyes,
mouth,
and womb.

My knees were meant to hit earth.
Mercy rose in my tears.

Grace,
the spine of gratitude.
