tunnel
you know this ache
its tumor-like qualities
the way it swells in your chest
stealing every breath
you are the little
frightened animal in a cage
rattling around in yourself
longing
and despite this ache
this swelling wave of grief
this mourning of loved ones
who've finally learned
to leave you behind
even in the darkness of this tunnel
you can close your eyes
and feel the light
you know this ache

and despite this ache

who've finally learned
to leave you behind
even in the darkness of this tunnel
