GRIEVE

GRIEVE

grieve is a verb
loaded with abrasive vibration

seems like its nouns
should be grief
but also groove
for there seems to
be a chiselling, rasping,
shaping
process involved there

whether in all the grief stages
whether in every form
as it will
emerge in conjugation

I cannot be sure of
though there is today
such a cold, quiet
clarity to
the grief
I grieve
