There is a lot of emotion in this! "Hanging by apron-string nooses" Powerful line. Great poem!

Simply Brilliant.

My partents got divorced long ago and I don't think any dust is about to settle soon. And the lines:

"Yet tucked in the closet are the hearts of the kids

Hanging by apron-string nooses"

I mean wow! That's exactly how it felt and how it still feels sometimes!

Really well done, thanks so much!
