Mourning Poem by Sheena Blackhall

Mourning



Mourning usually arrives
In the small hours
When the owl digests her kill
When souls, most frequently flit
From their human vessels.

It is a beastly predator
It suckles your memories dry
You wake in the morning raw
Knowing the full force of the word bereft
