"No one thought...

...it would have come to this"

to have thought it might come to this
even One would have needed to deal with the pain
barely hidden... it was
sharded into poems
the plays, where light was blocked, far
faraway
was a life mapped
yet unseen by any audience
a wound, undressed
...its life agape
then running
out of it, emptying
then reloading images
of a life itself
finally contained
how grief rests
..

in frames frozen
explaining the unutterable
sorrows
no one thought
would come to this
