If many words birthed by my sorrowful soul
Become six feet under
My brilliant heart and mind and tongue
Become an orchestra of the living
My children, my woes, my heaven
How wonderfully you sing for me
And each word constructed
Is not syntax but blood glued
Within souls
My mouth is filled with sorrow
My heart weakened by minor
Keys of sadness
How I love you
In the dead dirt of sorrow
Digging sorrow for life
My eyes of love remain
