gee: thanks

This 
         gentle
         gift of
         goodwill I      grant with

                                 genuine
                                 grace. 

                                                  And yet:
                                                           I'm just 

lying
                                                flowers on your
                                 grave;       a     

                                 grim            godless
                                                      genuflection to prop up a
                                                      greedy, prideful
                                                      guise—
                                                      Grief's

                                                      grit
                                                  engorging my
                                                             gullet,
leaving me
                                                             grasping at rotting roots,

                                                             grinding,
                                                             gnashing, 
                                                             gasping,
                                                             gulping down
                                                    nitrogen and 
                                                       oxygen and all the Earth's
                                                             gases as I
                                                   manage a
                                                             guttural
                                                             goodbye and
go.
