frickerl 's review for:
The Hurting Kind
by Ada Limón
Favorite snippets:
“The icicles dripped and sharpened in my bones.”
“All day I feel some itchiness around the collar, constriction of living.”
“I will never be a mother. That’s all. That’s the whole thought.”
Favorite entire poem:
“Glimpse
In the bathroom our last
cat comes up to me and purrs even without touch she purrs and there are times I can
hold her when no one else
can hold her. She once belonged to my husband’s ex-girlfriend who is no longer of the earth and what I’ve
never told him is that some nights when I touch her
I wonder if the cat is feeling
my touch or just remembering her last owner’s touch. She
is an ancient cat and prickly. When we are alone I sing
full throated in the empty house and she meows and mewls
like we’ve done this before
but we haven’t done this before.”
