Loss

Loss rends
     when what 
We’ve tended
     with love
Is gone. 

The metallic taste 
     of disbelief 
Accompanies life
     laid to waste. 

Hands lie still,
     left without tasks,
And sorrow invades
     with grief unmasked. 

There is nothing fair 
     when desire to care 
Faces only a void. 

The cruelest word is the ultimate outcome of life. 

No wonder we cling to resurrection.
