From the Ashes

grief & resilience free verse grief edge

Resurgence without the phoenix brochure.

Ashes do not promise wings. They record what burned.

The heartbroken night is not a training montage. It is a quiet house and a cup that will not be filled.

Resurgence, if it arrives, does not erase the ash. It walks through it and learns the weight of the shoes.

Stronger is a word strangers offer. The text prefers accurate: still here, still breathing, still unable to tidy the ending.

The ash stays on the threshold.
