Rosetta

by Kevin Young

 

Alphabet of night.

 

The grammar of grief

gets written each day

 

& lost—learnt again

by stone, by small

 

sliver, hieroglyph.

 

Morning

stays dark too long.

 

The light takes

its own sweet

 

time to arrive.

You, gone

 

into the afterlife

of hollow hands,

 

faded photographs.

 

Night’s black letters

that require a song

 

to remember.
