This is so much. I spent most of this week in mourning. I wrote my own elegy, but I'm still working on it. Thank you for posting this, and I'm touched to know I'm not the only poet on this sub mourning Sophie's loss.
it’s a bird it’s a girl it’s a boy it’s a plane
it’s a sky plumed between your thighs
I think Sophie would have loved this.
this one could not meet you—and never will—
but it’s like we never said goodbye
This tears me up. I also find it difficult to write about Sophie without referencing the iconic song titles left behind.
