I love the lines you quoted. I’m not huge into poetry and I don’t know that poet’s work, but I’m really curious now.

I have a poem taped to my bathroom wall called The Thing Is by Ellen Bass. It’s all about grief, and it’s beautiful. It helped get me through the hardest days of long COVID.

I just read "The Thing Is." Whew. What a terrific, heartwrenching, strangely comforting relief of a poem. Yes. Thank you for sharing.
