These poems move through inheritance, desire, addiction, and moral consequence, tracing how harm can be taught, repeated, and carried forward across a lifetime. The collection lingers in the moments where care and control blur, asking what it means to live with the weight of what cannot be undone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAt once intimate and unsparing, the poems confront devotion, vulnerability, and the risk of wanting connection in a world that often demands endurance.
