Pain (355)

I’ve given it a name. I talk to it, to her first thing in the morning when she is at her height. I want to manage it. To live with it, even welcome it. Good morning, heartache, sang Billie Holiday. Good morning, pain. Let it be. Not surrender to self-pity but accept what it and the wisdom therein.
