This poem is mesmerizing, beautiful, and so tragic. That last line strikes straight to the heart, through the sternum and into that central core. So glad Sean has found his way to Juke.

Thank you, Sean! So many haunting turns here. This is one I'll return to. I especially like the way the story uncurls itself insistently like thoughts seem to do in the wee hours when sleep won't come.
