Kate, this is a very fresh, wonderful rictameter of loss. The pain, and the strength to bear it, grows from its humble "Two wide" beginning to the viscerally chilling understanding of the meaning of alone. Well done! I am featuring your poem in the Rictameter Group.
Kate, Your poem expresses so much emotion. I feel the pain and can only imagine what this must be like. I'm glad Jim is featuring this. It's one of the best things I've read here. So very moving.
Beautiful written Kate. Very descriptive again, visual poetry is hard to communicate when you have a limit on word use, but that's the fun of these...isn't it?
Great one. You do a nice job of bringing your reader into your world. I like the way that you use "too wide" to describe your life/bed and the need to adjust after a significant loss.

I feel my soul being torn at times. I have Jesus for restoration.
Good stuff Kate.
