"I enjoyed it" seems especially trite when the poem itself is one rife with pain, yet that was the first phrase I typed out before the backspace key was repeatedly rapped to escape my own banality. But I did enjoy it namely because "I relate." That is my compliment; “I relate.” I was touched on a truly human level—understood the pain,,,and its memory,,,and its fading severity,,,but only because of the shear intensity of it; I am like you “less apt to bleed;” even that, though, may be a wound.∆https://www.blogger.com/profile/05251721181430121061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9947853.post-67749087305952084342008-05-16T10:46:00.000-04:002008-05-16T10:46:00.000-04:00Wonderfully written, I love the way you use the de...Wonderfully written, I love the way you use the description of the glass to show the change in yourself.White Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482847416614263182noreply@blogger.com
