GRIEF Poem: Captions for the Living, by Kat Correro

This may sound morbid
but I hear my loved one’s
eulogies scroll through
my mind like captions
on a film reel—

the poetry of loving
someone is
knowing how you’d say goodbye
while they’re still alive,
tucking grief into the folds
of everyday moments—
just in case.
