Working a "poem" : Whose Is My Grief?

Whose is my grief
And who should may I burden?

So whoever/mine died
and I can't bear it
and everybody I encounter
should be burdened?

I won't apologize
and don't blame all
for not the years and whatnot
of our us.

Am

Grief you share
is not a burden.
Your own pain
isn't yours alone.
All your friends
have lost some loved ones.
What you feel
is hurt we've all known.

How Poetry Comes to Me
by Gary Snyder

It comes blundering over the
Boulders at night, it stays
Frightened outside the
Range of my campfire
I go to meet it at the
Edge of the light
