A Bitter-sweet Bereavement Poem

We’ve come to terms with this

It is alright

We’ve had plenty of notice

We’ve come to terms

And are calm

We are ordinary

Back to normal

We have nice memories

Come to terms

Don’t look at us

This is what you expect

They are now dead

And we are here

It is fine

And expected

Expected,

is how we are acting

They are dead

We have come to terms with this
