Why is he mad at puffer fish?

i do what i can,
pour mercy on the memory
forgive both of us,
and remember, sometimes
goodbye is best.

and i know her issues with me
have resolved.
All but the physical disability,
and i have to remember forcibly
that was enough
to drive her away.

i grieve her again
in another way
and love myself
with twice the ferocity.

There is still so much wrong,
the pain drove me to my knees
not five minutes ago,
but i cannot stop giving thanks
to have my wits nimble
and hope in my trembling hands.

but it is enough
for me to remember
there are much worse things
than being alone and broken
in this condition.

Only here we are,
disability making me
more hopeless and helpless
than i would like
in this sea
of unmet need.

And it is nothing
compared to what others
are dealing with
given the woe
pouring in from the screens, ... 2/3

i am relentless as water
and twice as determined
to steal joy
out of suffering's grasp.

My messy nirvana
slowly becomes neat.

i'm purging the debris
of lost dreams.

Just let me cry today,
and i'll be joyful again
if not tomorrow,
then soon.
