precursor to suffering. 2012

"About suffering they were never wrong." – WH Auden

precursor to a suffering i've never known but dreaded

it is the empty twist 

of heart

in the back of mind

you think something is coming

and it is 

but you don't know what or with who

or if you'll be left alone or surrounded with friends

let us worry about things weaker than flight

lighter than air I was suddenly alight

sending sparks to predecessors 


they 


with me


in suffering and it helped a little
