attenuation

[this_morning]

the ear no longer 
hears the train 
that moans and shakes
the window panes

legs and lungs stretch
past the burn with each 
step it takes to find 
the finish line

the heart grieves less
the loss of you day
by day by
day.

the last part is wrong. my heart does not grieve less and less. why? because this poem makes my heart break... i hate you.
