Bravo. A pivital work for you. You are always honest, but the simplicity and directness of language here is a new tool, and you wield it with the quiet assurance of a skilled craftsman. I am so happy for this poem, what a gift to leave the world, an unobstructed view into the inner life. THAT, in my opinion, is the most influencial and potent kind of art. To put these kinds of thoughts and emotions out there adds so much to existence. Anyone who reads this will have a new thread of color running through their personal tapestry. It adds texture and one more layer of flavor to the stew. Bravo.

Great first line.
The path is clear, and easy to follow, beginning to end.

The scene with your grandmother on her hospital bed and you playing what ever role neccesary, there's is so much love there.

I just love this poem.
