grief

fact or a flaw, truth or a lie,

a turned down word, a rejected account, or a tale being denied, on just every count.

spoke of heat, spoke with heat, denial and resentment, a mind on heat.

an attempted play, a day of pact, darker days, and a deal compact.

days turn to nights, and nights; midnight, worrying soul, and dimming light.

and the night is over, and the sun has risen, and a new day, rising over the horizon.

days turn to weeks, and weeks to month, the soul laments the day, in silent, shadow leaves the hunt.
