Today I Learn To Be a Widow, Lesson 3

lesson three
 
time is broken
where it used to speed along
it now barely wobbles
injured maybe crippled

i keep my mind bustling nonstop
in the hopes to fall
asleep at night
from mere exhaustion

busy working
the whole day through
uncluttering reorganizing
worried i’ll soon
run out of closets

in the silence
time is illusion

somehow
i’ll need to face
creating a routine
around the void of him
