Holy Shit! Brutal and unforgettable and oh so real. It's beyond tragic that so many of us relate to this one. Brilliant in the use of voice, imagery, craft, and pacing. Another one I could go on and on about. Have I mentioned I love Only Poems and Only Poems Daily?
Took me a second to catch on. Crushing and beautiful.
This poem has meant a lot to me, as I've used it to help me reverse tragedies in my own life. It's more difficult to write reversals than it seems!
Astounding poem!
Stunned silence…the highest praise, Matt
Ooooph. This is hard, yet tender
