Sorrow

Sarah Canne
1993 


When all that can be said has fallen on deaf ears,
As the last notes of a tired song lie silent on the mind,
     quiet frustrations,
     crazy obsessions,
old food on a flowered plate,
new dawn on a Monday morn,
the last cigarette and the final strike of an ancient matchbook,
the silent daughter and the striking fist of an angry mother,
     a lost day,
     a lost love,
     a lost mind,
the triumphant celebration of life known as sorrow.
