What do you think this poem is about?

I cried a Mississippi

I cried a Mississippi when he died
Of all mankind he was so very fine
It left a doughnut hole inside my heart
Where Crow, the Sorrow-bird sat down to dine

And people say time heals, that hoary lie
You just improve at smothering the sigh
