What the Silence Kept

Soren Vance

Free verse · Death

Can grief run out, the way a battery does?Mine hasn't, and it's been three winters.

I keep waiting for the day it goes quietthe way they promised it would,and instead it just got smaller,which might be the same thingsaid by someone who has never carried it.

I carry it. I am not asking anyoneto carry it for me.I am only asking if this is whatthe rest of it looks like:smaller, not gone. Smaller, not gone.
