Supreme Court (6/24/2022)

Tessa Renken

I am tired of needing to allow myself time to mourn.

I do not wish to mourn.

I want to scream

yell

tear

cut

split

spit

 

crumple.

 

Be done.

 

At a certain point

mourning becomes nothing.

I have mourned too much.

There is no sense of

clarity

acceptance

passage.

 

Only

crying

draining

disappointment

numbing

bottling

forcing

 

expecting

nothing.

 

One cannot move past what they know will happen again.
