mourning

underneath where the snow leaves
bare the root
     and the soil crumbles, small rocks
     cascade
   
shelter up in the crook,
the dry darkness

      the memory of years spent
      pushes against what
      was never there                                                  



thinking about shelter: what constitutes it, what it means and hearing of a friend's loss.
what defines us and where we seek that definition...
