Some of us as moms try to think of every way to protect, and then blame ourselves when what we couldn't think of happens....and we also see other moms who don't care or are reckless go sailing through life more smoothly.
Absolutely MARVELOUS poem Julia!!! The tension and wonder you infuse into this retelling really illumines the gravitas and bittersweetness of the story, and the line you draw between bathing and being in the womb is a stunning analogy. Love this
This is so beautiful. I didn’t think the story of Achilles could be any more heartbreaking, but this poem certainly makes it so in the loveliest way possible 😭❤️
So sad.
So true.

Wow. You let us encounter a familiar story as if for the first time, and then I discovered my own heart right there in the poem. Just incredible.
Wow what a ride. Such a wave of emotions. I wasn't sure when to start breathing again!
Beautiful poem
