Hello,

I can relate to this. As poets, we tell a story, often our own. Sometimes we use metaphor and that can serve us well, by alluding to an element of our truth, but knowing it could be deciphered as an entirely different element that will resonate with the reader. However, grief in its raw form, is understood and felt without the need for mind pictures - it is powerful, it just is!

Nice poem - thanks for sharing.

Love the movement in your stanzas and words.

What an excellent read. The writer dropped a very heavy blow on that last line. A very impactful, memorable piece
