    December

    On the days when it all feels heavy
    When the inner swirl matches the December bleak
    I feel adrift
    My gaze,
    untethered.

    Although not alone,
    And often in good company,
    gratitude will not bring back the things that have disappeared.
    When grief and loss are real, too
    What then?

    I walk along the forested path
    of tall straight Ponderosa Pines.
    I come upon a slanted one
    maybe 15° off a direct line to the sky.

    I approach this slanted tree
    Like an old friend
    With a smile and a longing.

    I lay my weary bones to it.
    As my belly softened to the butterscotch bark
    I turn my cheek to rest,
    and my ears to listen.

    Of course this tree here does not speak,
    but we understood each other.
    Maybe words fail anyway,
    when it comes to grief.
    And perhaps being simply held
    here
    today
    On this gray, breathless morning
    is the language of love and loss.

    I smile again.
    I hear the birds and squirrels scuffling about
    More good company.
    The mourning dove takes flight
    again.

    Dorrie Beckley, 2023
