I'm deeply sorry for your loss, Isaiah. How ever many "Daddy" poems you have, this one is stellar. Thank you.

The poem, I should add, is achingly beautiful, ironically full of life.

It is one thing to study the storm, and another to stand in the clearing after it has passed.

I'm deeply sorry for your loss & my heart breaks.

May His soul rest in perfect peace.

My deepest condolences, Isaiah. This feels painfully true: poetry bears witness but can’t rescue. How it can rehearse loss, but never prepare you for it. Thinking of you.
