This poem. Is so beautiful. I can't even select lines that I adored, which is what I normally do, because every single line works together with the others to create a single, absolutely beautiful image. Thank you for writing this. It really hit me deeply. The simple words you used, the complete and single metaphor, is so beautiful.
There is nothing in this poem that is extraneous--everything comes together to create such a beautiful image and story of healing, despite it just being about an onion. This poem is universal and stunning, it's easy to read and so poetic and lovely. I just can't say enough good things about it.
Overall, nothing to critique, absolutely nothing. This poem is perfect as it is, and I will definitely be coming back to read it over and over again. It is masterful, and evokes such deep and universal emotion. Thanks so much for writing this. I tried to put into words how beautiful it is and how much it came to mean to me after even one read, but I don't think I properly can.
