Oh so sorry to hear that... yes, there are so many truths here.
This is so beautiful. Just as I tire of poems about loss (can I bear to read another?), in comes this, so spare and telling in its details. Thank you.
We hear you! There are only so many subjects, it seems. And then a new take comes in and blows us away with its poignancy.
so good. thank you.
