Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. —Rumi

What unexpected turns our losses take

in winding their way back into our arms:

an absent lover returns as many others,

a nation forsaken in the shape of a new life;

poems might take the place of parents

and friends gone come back as a wife.

If Love were not always a step ahead

how would it ensure we kept up the chase?
