2.4. estuarine
our pain like river flowing, from estuary to sea
salt brine therein becomes, waves we can’t see
someday they will drift the pain with currents to the shore
to find a Lover there alone, downhearted asking for
good news about the Loved one, good news the waves may bring
because a loss’s misery just hope is harbouring
to harbour hopes, to harbour pain, to harbour stubborn stay
the waves without answering, the pain wash away
