Villanelle: The Handkerchief

Remembering my grief,
for want of anything else to think about.
Trying to find relief.
I always play the thief,
with
 nothing I feel in the pink about.
Remembering my grief.
A fine aperitif
for everything I need a drink about.
Trying to find relief.
Not holding any brief
for what I ever raised a stink about.
Remembering my grief.
A mine or a massif,
a challenge to approach the brink about.
Trying to find relief.
My soul sprung into leaf.
There's nothing more to yawn and blink about.
Remembering my grief.
Trying to find relief.
