I really learned something about poetry from this poem.

“the bridge is fine as a child’s ribbon” really stayed with me.

There’s something unsettling about how gentle that image is next to everything surrounding it. Beautiful piece.

Been there, done that. Love the line breaks. Love the beginning, middle and end. Wish I wrote it.
