Sorrow stalks me in an old coat

Christian Century, August 24, 2004 by Stella Nesanovich 

Sorrow stalks me in an old coat

   the color of churned water.
   I have worn it for years--it
   no longer fits, tugs tit the waist
   where I have grown under cove,
   spreading like roots, like grief,
   swelling in rows of deep rhizomes
   long after sowing. How often
   can a heart break? When
   might I be rid of this old coat?
