The Space

Writer: Nolcha FoxNolcha Fox


Grief is the space you used to be,

the breath you breathed

that rustled kitchen curtains.


Grief is the space of everything

that left me leaden, left me,

vanished into who cares.


Grief is the space where I find nothing

of your laughter, only memories

I embellish. You won’t mind.


inspired by Jane Edberg's "The Fine Art of Grieving" and the dVerse prompt, just for laughs:

This is profoundly grief sticken. A grief where even the memory of laughter is lost. It is so very sad. seanatbogie poetography.ink

Thank you, Seana. I wrote it for my mother, who died last October.

The whole thing is touching and exact, but the ending is particularly so.

What darkness when the laughter is gone.

Thank you, Björn. Laughter is what I remember most when people are gone.
