P.W. Bridgman, Writer @pwbwriter1.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

"...He was post-surgery, morphined up, my sister and I on night shift swabbing his nightmares." This poem confronts its unsettling subject matter on its own, harrowing ground. It chases up the spine & lodges in the heart & mind the way the last five lines of Heaney's "Mid-Term Break" do. Brilliant.
