Raw

by Gracy Judith   Jan 26, 2023



like metaphors
undeciphered,

the truth, in slivers,
lies concealed beneath a veil

what will bring it forth
but bare bones
made to stand tall
on a page
for the world to take home?

my grief is same as yours…

I fed it the whole world,
raw

    What an excellent read. The writer dropped a very heavy blow on that last line. A very impactful, memorable piece

    Hello,

    I can relate to this. As poets, we tell a story, often our own. Sometimes we use metaphor and that can serve us well, by alluding to an element of our truth, but knowing it could be deciphered as an entirely different element that will resonate with the reader. However, grief in its raw form, is understood and felt without the need for mind pictures - it is powerful, it just is!

    Nice poem - thanks for sharing.
