In grief, the skin burns

In grief, the skin burns

white, blanching heart and soul.

In grief, the skin burns

white, blanching, heart and soul

gasping for breath

In grief, the skin burns

white, blanching, heart and soul

gasping for breath.

Until a breeze stokes embers and aura

In grief, the skin burns

white, blanching, heart and soul

gasping for breath.

Until a breeze stokes embers and aura

lifting smoke and loss.
