Animals stagger, shadows lengthen, no time for tears - "visceral" is right.
The infidelity in the title of this post opens another portal for the reader.
I've been catching up with your Twitter posts as well as Hive, and no, I will never get "caught up," as I've been following the 50-word short story series of @felt.buzz this morning as well. And requests for book reivews keep flowing into my Twitter inbox. I'm ever wary of the surveillance bots tallying Impressions and Engagements, ready to nail me for "violating" Friends and Family policy about reviews. Who better to review a book than a reader who "engages" with the author? Eh. In another matter, I've been trying to find a good place to call attention to this message you posted at Twitter - how it speaks to me! - every day I pray the Lord's Prayer, esepcially "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us," knowing I have offended, trespassed, or neglected to do good things (sins of "omission" can be worse than sins "commission").

Forgive, even when you have the power to retaliate

There is a whole blog post in there, but I'm not ready to tackle it today. Suffice to say, Bruce's stories touch on this. Especially the sister thread, Margot vs Chloe, and Humpbuckle Tales 9: The Psychiatrist (blue bicycle) -

Revenge led him into the arms of her sister.
Vengence binds them together.
It's stronger than love.

Again, I #Love your Twitter post:

'Whoever forgives while he has the power to take revenge is forgiven in turn by God when he deserves punishment.'"
