I am a novice at best,but here I go.I do not know how to critique poetry,but I'll try my best.In the first stanza I think the subject is saying that he knows his brother is dead.Because it is his brother he couldn't find the appropriate words.The second (to me)was the best save the last two sentences.I felt the mud between my fingers,saw in my minds eye the bricks take shape and then form a wall.I agree with the trading places of the first two sentences.Overall I think it is a premium piece of of literature possessing good use of hyperboles.The last two sentences is a realization that tied the body together.I hope my feedback was sufficient enough to gain permission to post.I honestly did my best.This is my very first attempt ever.Thanks for the opportunity.
