Grief

Grief is winter cold
sharp, biting
glinting
gathering in softness
shooting back
white bright light
brings tears to the eyes
wraps icy fingers around the throat
stabs at the chest.  
Grief makes one ache
for release, for respite
for one last chance
one more moment
one other way this thing could have turned out.
Grief leaves me alone
a container for pain
no release valve
how can I bear it?
