The most direct poem so far. It follows the immediacy and the urgency of the theme. Simple existence, no time for delicate introspections. I could sense the heart pounding; the panic, the shattering sense that everything we have can be taken from us with no warning and if we are lucky given back to cherish.
Very well done — a story to which any parent can relate — a heart-stopping moment we all dread.
