Friendship. Loss. Family. Grief. This is a story, a series of lines strung together much like ZJs songs about knowing someone but no longer having them around, even though they’re physically present.

This short series of poems follows an NFL player who slowly suffers from CTE, narrated through the lens of his son and his three best friends. It’s powerful and rich and gut wrenching. Finished this one quickly and felt all the tugs in my heart.
