POEM STARTER

Inspired by Jewelie Rain

Write a poem that transitions through two or more of the seven stages of grief: denial, bargaining, anger, depression, loss of self, reflection, and acceptance.

my life’s been a series of blues and pinks and greens lately, a pretty sight and while i’m nestled within all of those hues is when i think of you fondly, of who you are, who you aren’t, and of who you will eventually be, in all capacity and that’s what i think of love and all it’s pain it’s that it spreads itself equally. 50/50 pain that wills itself to always be there jagged fingertips wrapped tightly through those fingers - cutting deeply into the palm - of all we know and love, forcefully conjoined for all eternity

this is the way it must be, the universe whispers

because without it we would feel nothing at all besides the nagging rotting hole that grows on our palms where the gentle hand of our lifelong lover is supposed to be that’s longing for something ingrained in our souls in strains of dna and in the semen of lost men it’s in the regret we all have felt towards being born in the shame our mothers have felt towards us, regretfully but i’ll never regret you, or you, or you i love all of you beyond the want of rationality or reciprocation

and that’s timeless baby

it’s unconditional and inconceivable beyond most people’s understanding, i don’t even think you understand me but it’s between me and the universe, only in our whispers in our love to want for nothing at all but the wellbeing of another another you, another you, another you
