This is devastating.The voice carries such helplessness despite its power- knowing, seeing, even offering mercy, and still being unable to alter what is already in motion. ‘Two lovers death-drunk’ is such a striking line and one of my favourites. Thankyou for sharing and I’m so glad I stumbled upon your page.
