Yet each of us is alive.
The grief of the heart.

Beaten by silence,
But behind that wall lives rage.
Which one wounds me most?

This fear which has beaten time.
We sleep with lights on.

Full of soaking and snuggling.
Things that make life good.

Of books; more books… and longing.
I wish it would rain.
