i asked my body

#NaPoWriMo Day 28

i asked my body
together we bowed our heads
this thing that happened is big
this thing that happend closes lungs
this thing that happened stops breath

this thing
this grief
swallows us all

i asked my body
how do we get through this
she whispered to me
gently

i asked my body
how do we get through this
she whispered again
in and with community

go find the ones that love you
remember
there are many
