When Grieving

drink water
let ocean in
tears roll
erase beach
unground you

be periwinkle
live
between tides
inside your shell
feel around
with your feet

for something
to latch on to
shelter in place
pull a seaweed blanket
over your head

cleave to crevices
in rocks and boulders
lean hard
cling strong
be held
