    Powerful haiku, Margaret. I am particularly struck by the poignancy in your choice of "uses" – a continuing present tense form – deliberately declining yourself to employ the past tense.
    Very moving work, and very raw.

    Thank you for sharing it.

    From "thunderclap" to the last word, yes, ouch!
    Skillfully written: "the past tense he uses"
