My Grief

My grief is a bone numbing confusion 
Too deep to be felt
It hums in my body
Paralyzing action 
Desires fade to this 
Dissonance 
Defies comprehension
And so cannot be felt
Remains to buzz around
No escaping
Until my plans fall dormant
In your grasp
The work continues
My thoughts remain in
Quiet confusion
A valley away tonight
What truth be told


Once we awake, we fall down in deep silence, 
the voices descend on their own 
they descend
