GRIEF Poem: Political Grief, by Carol Durant

Verbal sparring over political darlings
The elephant or the donkey
Crushing each other souls
According to the the media starlings

I was focused on winning the debate
You were focused on my embrace
Therefore, you encouraged my point of view
I said yes to dinner and away we went
Days to months to years
Our relationship bloomed
A freak accident
Now, you’re entombed

I remember every moment
Like an elephant
I’m a donkey
Without you
