When she died,

Years passed.
\nThe wound sealed.

\nMy innards steeled.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I cried again
\nthe ocean in my eyes spilled
\nthe taste of tears on my lips
\nnot salty but chilled.<\/p>\n
Maybe my eyes
\nhave cried out their ocean
\nRather what I tasted
\nwas steely ice in motion.<\/p>\n
Maybe it is in the normal order of things,
\nto turn from ocean into glacier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
