Number 32, in the works

Her tragedies span lives
But not lifetimes
They are small, personal
They are not this heaving
No tidal waves of grief, no monument
Grains of sand, she knows
And still

And still

It is ancient, this calling in her bones
This ache, this want
Lately crafted into a Byzantine symptom
