GRIEF IS A WALK OVER A BRIDGE

Grief is a walk over a bridge

Back and forth

Forth, to where the other has gone

And back to where one was with her.

And this going back and forth is formative

Because something has been torn -

Memory fuses it together

Again and again.

Something has been lost,

Memory searches….and finds it.

Something has gone away from oneself

One needs it, one follows it.

One must find it, in order to continue with life.

One must wander through the land of the Past

Back and forth

Until the walk over that bridge

Leads to a new path.
