Telling T that h hit me in front of our daughter pretty much guaranteed I had to leave. He's a mandated reporter too. I kinda knew that, though I wasn't really aware in the moment. I had to tell him though. Couldn't keep that inside. It was the right thing. I've kept so much inside for so long.

The fire of birds in
The world's turning wood,
For my sawn, splay sounds,)
