I like the sentiment and the word choices you use, but I think the lay out let you down, it reads really choppy to me, it may have some added meaning to the pain of what happened, but there is a really good subtle rhyme here but it is broken by the staccato line choices. I had to read it a couple of times to get the import, but I had to force the read, if I didn't really enjoy your writing I probably would have moved onto something else, leaving no comment and no vote. there again I could just be a lazy reader :-)
I play with different styles, and it is interesting that this one was so difficult for you. It made me rework another one with short lines I've just written. (My husband prefers the short mosaic of images in the new one, so I'm undecided which to select from among the two styles). I appreciate your comment and the exercise of reworking my current poem was a really useful one for me to undertake.
More that there were really good sonic patterns hidden by the layout that I think could have been better utilized and highlighted by a different structure :-)
This is the piece I meant comparative to trix's piece
