The heart stops briefly when someone dies,—Ted Berrigan, "Things to Do in Providence" (1970) (Selected Poems)
a quick pain as you hear the news, & someone passes
from your outside life to inside. Slowly the heart adjusts
to its new weight, & slowly everything continues, sanely.

the heart adjusts / to its new weight
