Giant

GIANT

You were so giant in this life

my love.

As though you were the galaxy

and everyone else the stars.

You were so full

of life

in this life

that in death

you are the same

giant.

And the hole you have left

is giant too.

You were so giant in this life

that my grief for you

must be giant also

that's the science you see

And really

there is little to be done

about that.

For love breeds grief,

grief breeds love

and a giant hole

does not easily fill.
