Ada Limón, from “The Hurting Kind,” in The Hurting Kind

[text ID: Before my grandfather died, I asked him what sort / of horse he had growing up. He said, / Just a horse. My horse, with such a tenderness it / rubbed the bones in the ribs all wrong. / I have always been too sensitive, a weeper / from a long line of weepers. / I am the hurting kind. I keep searching for proof.]

Hey friends, I really hate to ask (and I'm not sure if anything will come of it) but my wife and I have been sick back to back and as a result have missed a lot of work. They currently have covid, and I'd be shocked if I don't (no symptoms yet, but give it a few days). We're both disabled and immunocompromised, so it's hitting us hard.

Rent is due in a few days, and I have no hope that we'll make it on time, given that it's $1,300, but literally anything helps (yes, even a $1). Even if rent is a bust, at least we'll hopefully be able to get cat food and human food. I would deeply appreciate any help yall would be willing to provide.
