nest

when you realize it is
torn to shreds fine pieces that 
curl and float nothing hurts as they
flick and bounce around you landing
for a moment as you blow them away 
these ashes of the past remnants burnt solids
all that is left but you nestle among them and 
make a soft empty nest surrounded by the 
vastness of loss from which there is 
no return
no sound 
only silence
