loss
sometimes demands to be recognised
wallowed bathed submerged in
indulged
Felt
A friend of a friend described it as the "dark luxury"
Here are some luxuries so dark and rich and beautiful and bitter that I need to share them.
It may be self-indulgent, but thats partly the point.
A poetry blog started in a time of crisis, pain and loss (thats when the poetry flows!). Restarted now in the context of chronic disease. Life, eh?!

Oh Lettuce - Such poignant photos. I hope this Christmas hasn't been too overwhelming for you all. I'll always remember the first one after my Dad died (only 6 weeks before). Such a weird, limbo non-existing time, when no-one could bring themselves to say Happy Christmas, but if it slipped out the stunned silence which followed. Thinking of you.
