An ode to heartbreak
#5
not sure the last line works well enough to keep
and i struggled to make sense of the 'unflinching' line
enjoyed the whole image of the 2nd stanza. which i think captures the story really well. the rest of the poem worked well for me as well. just nits really as far as an edit is concerned.
thanks for the read. Smile

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.
