Another month signals defeat
Ides of March have again passed
Healing process stuck on 33 1/3
Grip tight the latest die uncast
Arpeggiated patterns of grief
Fresh from the sticker shock
Stake a claim in a lucid dream
Sadly, Happiness is not in stock
Zero to alone in 34 years
A psyche with the brake lines cut
Wish for a way to slow it down
Invent new anchors to stay put
Stop choking on old miseries
Start relearning how to breathe
Jettison the unsolved mysteries
Learn to live or learn to leave.
