It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub! This time our writing prompt is some form of the word crack.
ℵ
Almost never
a sliver of sunlight cracks through
the brick-like layer of eternal gloom.
For a nanosecond, I convince myself that
you are at work
or the hardware store.
The accident never happened;
It was all a mistake
and you’ll be home
any minute.
(for Delfina O.)
You have painted a picture of heartbreak.
Heartbreak in all flavors seems to be my forte, I’m afraid. Thank you for stopping by!
😔
Loss is a powerful darkness and it’s hard to have hope for the light again. You’ve captured that feeling so well in this poem.
Thank you Mish! Much appreciated. :-)
It’s a dangerous place to go, but go we must on the path of letting go…
Letting go is so difficult. And like you said, dangerous too.
Such heartbreak in so few words.
Heartbreak in 44 words. Your words touched my heart.
Thank you, Beverly. Much appreciated!
A powerful glimpse through a crack in grief.
Even if we don’t know what happened the grief is still so clear.
Thank you, Bjorn. That’s what I was aiming for. :-)
oh dear. oh dear. i have no words. T_T
Sometimes words are hard to find in such a situation. Thank you!
that is true.
May the sunlight make it through the gloom.
This stings and bites to the core. That gloom can be devastating.
Thank you, Grace! Much appreciated.
Deeply saddened by the realization of life or death & the unknown. Nicely written!
Thanks so much, Lisa!
Heartbreaking. Well constructed!
Tiny tale, but not to small to cause a tear to fall. Happy Monday.

Thank you, gillena.
Oh Susan, that sent a deep shiver of sadness through me. So very touching.
Thanks, Rob.
Wow. Such much heartache packed into this. Real or not, it packs a punch.
Much appreciated, kanzen sakura.
Grief is a tale well penned here; a lot of emotion packed in but a handful of words. Fact or fiction, it soars like a gull.
Thank you so much, Glenn! :-)
Gah. This tore my heart out. So well done.
Thank you, whimzy.
