A beautiful ode. You convey the tension between the love and the detesting of the beloved ritual. Great write.

You’ve done it again! Awesome. Most of us have experienced this act. My mother got neck cancer and stopped for a time but the draw was too great. She started again and this time, it took her.

Tears are running down my face. I LOVE this poem that brings Carol into my minds eye as clear as the sweet photo of her. I miss her too, goddammit!!

Totally love this. I “get” every well painted line. Long ago I suffered the same deadly habit. You are an INSPIRATION. Keep going.
