I witness your tender expressions of vulnerability and love being received by so many, including me, as your poem goes out to those 300,000 people. Your writings belong out there in the greater world, inspiring us and keeping us going in these harshest times.
I too read with delight this AM! Such beauty wisdom humor love is here. Congrats! Be proud & fiercely unafraid. You did it. You’ve been doing it for years…
Your poem was the first thing I ready today, on Poem-a-Day! I thought, yay, a well deserved acknowledgement to you. And then there you were, several messages below. The Solar System Quilt, that has always held my attention, is the perfect pairing for your artful and heart felt words - "the physical ache of longing" - such a brilliant phrase, I could 'feel' it immediately.
I have carried your poem with me all day, you have my respect Abe. Thank you. Claiming and giving a voice to our vulnerable insides, reclaiming is so healing. May you have joy.

Congratulations! I read this on Poem a Day this morning even before I saw your post. Powerful landmark. Deep joy.

Thank you for sharing these words of vulnerability and poignancy. Your poetry in its stark beauty reminds us of our fragility and mortality.
