Sunday Review: Getting Back to my old self

I am getting back to my roots,
back to the things I enjoyed
before grief
kicked me in the teeth.

I am enjoying
my favorite foods,
putting hot sauce
in my tomato juice again.

I am trying new taste sensations,
eating Greek yogurt
with strawberries.

I am a different person
then I was on November 29, 2012
and yet
in many ways
I am the same person,
but redefined by sorrow.
