I can’t handle ornery brooding detachment My parental figures romantic warm close Oh, they yelled momentarily harmlessly humorously (to me at least) like when Dad spilled sugar sugar lips martini cheers against her urn I can’t handle grief tears a broken heart

Mmm, you're sensitive! I am an introvert, think a lot about things, but I try to help people when I can. Dear Kim, I hope your loved ones know you as the gem you are.

Very emotional write Kim, with a twirling feel like thoughts that don't want to settle on a sad thought and pull away then back.

A nice poem on unresolved emotional pain and familial memories in the poet's life.
