Good morning grief;
I anticipated your fullness today,
now that I am still.

You are not new, Omnipresent in fact  -  in this matter,
though your weight is mightier,
now that I am still.

I will not embrace you – or this matter,
though I must accept you – and this matter,
now that I am still. 

~Marcela.
