Really liked that last chunk of poem 9 with the bird/noah allusion and also poem 7 !!! wow! that was a really vivid poem, the image of stapling your skin to places so people know you're there -> is just so gory, but also really makes an impression with that metaphor - you're really good at closing poems up too, which is not always easy.
you should know i am a time traveler & there is no season as achingly temporary as now
Wow, your poems are amazing, ella! I'm loving the imagery you've woven into each of your poems. #7 is especially deep. I could almost hear my heart clench when I started reading. #10 is really cute, by the way! It has beautiful description. I'm hoping to see more from you even though it's the second last day of NaPo, heh.
