Grief stricken


what a funny word
grief stricken
struck by grief?

struck by lightening
and thunder
like a bolt from the sky?

or struck down by

memories
thoughts
emotions
feelings

strikes a chord
on strike
feeling mad and sad

today I guess
not bothered 
not cared for?

the need to be good
to myself
to find the heart

even if pierced

grief stricken
and on strike
waves of washing liquid

breaking my skin
opening wounds
soothing cream

all over again

today
and tomorrow 
another day?
