Lovely
for Irene Phillips (11/7/1921 – 7/23/2021)
when the heart breaks
everything hurts
my hair hurts
my face is someone else's ~
someone without an aunt
someone who was loved
when the heart breaks, the fear starts
the fear, the anger (the unfairness!)
I needed you, I need you
her laugh full of mischief
holds me
in a glitter of love
much larger than sorrow
the lovely love
of peaceful Irene
