when someone dies

suddenly

when they suddenly go

your heart demands a logic

a story

each fact to stack high

the vertebrae

the spine

a way to stand the thing up

the grief

to make it account for itself

to explain why it has arrived

in the place of your someone

your vibrant

booming

and pulsing someone

that one

who articulated to you

both your love

and your fear

there must be a logic

a way to align this new world

with the one left behind

a why

when its sudden

all reason is shy
