“These days, these days
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I’d see another highway”-Velvet Underground
Letting Go
by Carmen H Gray
Tears
Not just those quiet ones
That slide down your cheeks
Like graceful swans
The powerful, unrestrained ones
That reach far back
Into the deep places
Where you had
Everything tucked safely away
That is the unfettered grief
Beautifully breaking down
And releasing
You
