I live here alone

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Creepy!
Well-wrought! I love the use of the haiku out of its usual context as a nature poem--though this one is still spiritual, in a manner of speaking!
Oh shit, hahahahahahaha. Loved this!
Ah! 😳
"I live here alone" That really cinches it.
So creepy!
