Leith Ross sings Grief (Folk Fest '22 poem #3)

Hannah was 
twenty-two 

someone who loved 
red rose love touching 
so many 

and we sit in the heat 
of her loss 
and her mother’s agony 
while Leith sings 

strawberry sweet voice 
settling on souls 

about 
twenty-two

what is grief at that age 

yet we receive 
this gift as balm 
as soothing cool shade 
as tears roll down
