Mea, every line in that last poem is just so richly dense with meaning.

Wow! I really like the poetic style of this and the formatting also complimented the flow and meaning.

I'm excited to see what else you write!

you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now

but i have promised to return

Even though I'm not Mormon and probably didn't pick up on the Mormon theology, this was such a beautiful poem with subtle yet beautiful imagery.

I think my favorite lines were "to run hand in hand with you/our mothers' mother's mother's/at our back."

"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language." - W.H. Auden
