Alison A Smith July 27, 2026 at 12:25 AM This is an interesting piece: very compressed, almost deliberately fragmented, with that mix of burden (“sack,” “onus,” “odium”) contrasted against faith as the resolving force. The visual spacing does a lot of the emotional work too, like the weight is literally dragging the lines downward.
