Simmering grief

 Simmering grief

 

 

I want to simmer in a hot pot 

of my emotions 

Salty tears for seasoning 

Opening my lips 

To taste and savour 

The heaviness of grief 

I don't want to ignore this feeling 

Let me boil over

Don't turn down the heat 

Just let me spill over 

Sizzling 

Dripping 

Onto your bare feet 

I want you to experience this 

Let's serve up your sadness 

Come on over
