Poem – “Mourning in Light” – 6/7/2026

What disallows
this open heart
from closing?

Have I not
breathed enough
while astir?

When will I
discover a remedy
amid another
dying day?

Pain paints
my tired complexion
in resounding darkness.

When can I
sing without wailing
in infinite nights?

Come the morning,
I am buried in snow.
I grieve,
quilted in quivers
along isolated flesh.

Come the light
from a desaturated sun,
I am burning
inside this pale rush
of a winter resolution.
