to think about

Adelaide said...: It's a strange coincidance that you wrote this today. We just got word of the death of our daughter's father-in-law. There is a lot of pain in the family night now.

Bill said...: So sorry to hear that, Adelaide. You and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers.; 7:10 PM
Monika said...: I like this haïku very much,perhaps because I know this feeling well... I've often been pondering the question if it's good or not to think about a pain. It depends on the pain, I guess.; 7:10 AM

this pain
not my own...

at each period... the pain returns.
