CHANGE OF ADDRESS

You didn’t die
you just changed shape

became invisible
to the naked eye

became
this grief

it’s sharpness
more real

then your presence was

before you were separate to me
entire to yourself

now you are
a part of me

you are inside my self

I call you
by your new name

‘Grief…Grief! ‘

although I still call you
‘Love.’
