how to exist

let grief become the center / allow the wild of your living to emerge at grief’s edges / breathe into the creeping things that come / water the ground with your tears —

(you will find the earth holding your grief to be fertile)

soon you will look out the window of your life / grief will be an obelisk in the distance / rising from the tangled vestige of your rewilded existence
