This chapbook is a collection of poems about losing a child and somehow remaining among the living. These poems detail how mundane things happen in daily life that one can be a part of while simultaneously carrying around a hot burning grief. One can be in the life, having fun, dancing on a rooftop when the sun is going down and Venus and Mars are just visible in the night sky. One can do all the things, but the stabbing pain of a child’s death can be there in a heartbeat. It’s about trying to live this life, but missing them at every turn.
