Wrenching

I have heard the expression "terrible beauty," and it came to mind when I read this poem. Its raw honesty is very beautiful, and the pace builds in a frantic way that counterbalences the loss that permeates it. It's really good.

Excellent form and content (again)

This poem is has a fluidity and shape that fits the pain of its expression, i.e., it does what a good poem should do. Such simplicity of words throughout make it more expressive. The opening four words take one immediately into "poetry" - deftly, simply. The third and fourth stanzas are a real history that belie the suffering. The last line a missile to the heart. Splendid work, Gauche.
