What stayed with me is the moment when endurance finally gives way. The breakdown does not arrive at the edge of the roof, but much later, on the way home. That delay makes the poem feel painfully true.
It's Wednesday, and the last thing I read before this was the news about a TikTok personality doing his livestream holding a knife and covered in blood. Made it hit a bit harder, I think. Thank you Ray!

Thanks, Antonio! It is.
Incredibly written heartbreak, human slap in the last stanza. Latte included x

The pain of Covid, the pain of distance, the pain of betrayal. Woven as Penelope might, then breaking down. Brave one, Ray. Brave and excruciating.
Thanks a lot nora!!!
