Something is gone, And the quiet that came after it has its own weight. This practice is called a long practice for the quiet after loss, Not to make the quiet beautiful, To let you stay with it for a few minutes, Without bracing. Wherever you are, Let your body land, Let your jaw loosen, Let the back of your eyes soften. You do not have to make sense of the loss tonight, You only have to be here in the room. The loss left behind, Let one breath arrive, Let one breath leave. The grief is not in your way, It is part of how much they mattered. You can let it stay, You can let it be loud, You can let it be quiet, None of those mean it is going somewhere. I do not have to recover from this on a schedule, The quiet they left is allowed to keep being heavy. I am still here, Even when they are not. The love does not stop, Just because they did. Let the breath get longer at the end, Let the body remember it can hold this without breaking. For these few minutes, The loss is allowed to be the room, You only have to stop bracing against the quiet. You can leave this practice with the grief still there, That was fighting it.
