HURT

What hurts?
Your face - your front page -
has the headline, "I'm hurting! I'm in pain….”

What hurts?
A wrong word - arthritis - an empty chair -
an empty bed - a disappointment - a gone?

What heals?
A listening - time - another - Oh my God! - 
a willingness to - to try - to heal - to be again….
