This came from a drive after losing someone who was part of my everyday life for so long.

Grief doesn’t just live in memories. It lives in habits too.

Looking for them on the sofa.
Finding fur that hasn’t quite disappeared yet.
Realising how much space a small life can leave behind.

There Is No At Least For My Loss So I cried last night. I just had this deep ache down my chest that needed to be cracked. I was hurting, badly, and in desperate need of loosing myself in someone’s arms.

A poem titled Gone that reads: how cruel how utterly devastating for a person to be there one day gone the next how brutal how absolutely mind shattering for a person to be torn from existence ripped like a poster off a lamppost taken by the wind the only proof the rusty staple & a millimeter of torn paper how cruel how utterly devastating for a person to be there one day the next gone

Been missing my fallen people a lot lately 💔🕊️

The Last Thing She Said Before She Died

; no matter how many times i rewrite the narrative; redraft the story; edit the poem; change the wording; differ the synonyms; alter the font; the ending remains the same -

you die.

you always fucking die.

THE UNCLASSIFIED SKY
— notes from a life that refused to fossilize

I wrote grief a letter and kept my freedom.
Pandemic silence. Encrypted mourning.
A single life moving faster than ruin.

; from loss, i learnt not how to

live without you - but how to

ꜱᴜʀᴠɪᴠᴇ. the final lesson

you ever taught me is that

it is possible to die,

yet still remain alive...

About trying to find an appropriate container for grief in a world of mass-produced sentiment... my poem, "At Hobby Lobby, Choosing an Urn," is out now in Kansas City Review, Volume 21. [🎙️ Sound on to hear me read.]

It's National Grief Awareness Week this week. I wanted to write something for it, but then I remembered a short piece I wrote back in January. I wrote it in Danish, but translated it to English. It's slightly redacted to make it less personal.

The Weight of What’s Missing

The Weight

Everything feels slightly off,
like the world shifted half an inch
while I wasn’t looking.

At first, it was unbearable,
the hush after goodbye,
a silence so sharp

It makes you stronger, so do not forget it!!

After the Long Silence

After

The first thing I said when the door closed
was not a prayer, not a confession,
just a small breath,

Time passes
And seasons change
Yet my life
Remains awash
In funeral grey
You were
Always so vibrant
With you gone
My world
Seems muted

When the Past

I used to think memory was a door
you could close
if you leaned hard enough.
