Change of... Address <br /> <br /> <br />(In memory of my mother Ita) <br />You didn't die <br />you just changed shape <br /> <br />became invisible <br />to the naked eye <br /> <br />became this grief <br /> <br />it's sharpness <br />more real <br /> <br />than your presence was <br /> <br />before you were separate to me <br />entire to yourself <br /> <br />now you are <br />a part of me <br /> <br />you are inside my self <br /> <br />I call you <br />by your new name <br /> <br />'Grief...Grief! ' <br /> <br />although I still call you <br />'Love.'<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/change-of-address-in-memory-of-my-mother-ita/
