Profound short. You do it right. This should be a Jacobism taped to my fridge.

Sometimes that echo reverberates so quickly it never seems to leave. But usually, though not always, the time between echoes gradually increases so that it becomes more bearable. Until the next one. Very to the point, Jacob.

well done ... deeply felt in just the title ... i have felt the grief that echos through the years ... you collapse in it ... the weeping unconstrained ... once spent ...that quiet calls us all ...maybe a healing over time ... :( i agree with Crowley ... pretty genius sir

Grief's echo, never silent for long before it returns. Some grief never leaves you, although it may soften.

Depends on the hearing... and the healing, j. Such a few words but they touch.. and, will remind - remain.

As said many times before, your words touch and more..
As still as an echo can be...and that is saying a lot for exhibitionism's call. I really had to think this through, and I think it is a little bit of genius.

This is like the final curtain closing on the last act.
No words left to say.

grief's echo, the title alone is incredibly moving
I feel the echo, the silent cries in my chest that throb and throb so heavily in those moments of grieving
