grief ghazal

there is no finish line
I try to remember this 
there is no finish line to grief 

I wake from a dream 
knowing my heart is broken 
from love as much as grief

and knowing that everyone 
writes poems of half formed truth
in love or from grief 

can my heart hold more love
now it has broken? I say
"my" heart and trace grief

knowing it is so full of you
