An Ode to Heartbreak
The moment the current passes through your body,
unflinching,
allows for a moment unparalleled in life.
Friends gather, drop everything, and,
if they are good,
just listen to the silence,
sometimes interrupted by tiny
or overwhelming
sobs.
Life gets quiet.
It’s ok to let the phone ring,
to unplug.
And to remember
That this, too, shall pass.
