In it, she\u003cbr\u003ebegins with a list of the things she’s lost, starting\u003cbr\u003esmall: keys, an hour here or there, her mother’s\u003cbr\u003ewatch. But even when she allows herself to list lost\u003cbr\u003eitems as big as a house, a river, or a continent, she\u003cbr\u003eknows she still hasn’t acknowledged the true loss\u003cbr\u003ethat forced her to the page. No, it’s only in the\u003cbr\u003efinal line of the final stanza that the poet admits\u003cbr\u003e she can tolerate the loss of all but her beloved and\u003cbr\u003eurges herself to be honest, to be vulnerable, finally,\u003cbr\u003e to “Write it!”, forcing herself to own the truth she\u003cbr\u003edidn’t yet have the courage to say.
