Zosta Wiatr:
THE POEM FAILS
to explain why it matters
is impossible,
is why
I need the poem to allow
for the shatter
I tell my therapist
not for the first time:
I want to honor
what’s broke
no: silver linings,
phoenix rising from ashes,
lemons turned lemonade
no: recovery narrative
the poem fails
to make understandable
what isn’t—
I don’t want to fix it
I just want to hold it
