    Where is it?

    Is it behind or still in front?
    Is it alive or dead?
    Is its heart stil beating, pulsing, throbing,
    When all is done and said?

    Can I shovel dirt on its grave,
    Its dirge begin to write?
    Summon forth its pallbears
    And bury it in the night?

    Can A child like sprint be in me ,
    As Its vise like grip unfolds?
    And thus declare my freedom
    From the carnage that it holds?

    Is it behind, or still in front?
    What importance do I place?
    Do I dig its grave and bury it,
    Or keep it face to face?

    Very moving, very painful especially the last lines are thought provoking.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
