Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

liminality & grief

Tina Stewart Brakebill

No longer, not yet

As my broken heart beats on

Still, fragmented, yet

Merril at https://dversepoets.com/2023/08/15/poetics-august-transitions/ has asked us to consider a transitional time in our lives. Still struggling with a recent loss, I’m in the midst of figuring out how to heal. Writing helps, when I let it.

  1. I’m sorry for your recent loss.
    So much said in these few words. I like how “yet” hangs there at the end. It can be taken as ongoing–“it’s still happening,” or as however or but just hanging there, the thought not finished.

  3. honoring that space in between no longer and not yet is challenging and necessary and there’s no time limit on it. sending grace and peace your way as you move through grief… which is like glitter… we find it in the strangest places and i don’t think it ever really goes away. ❤
