So, so cool. I had to listen twice. The words enveloped me like an entire world of beautiful complexity. Your delicate weaving of each line's final word flows SO smoothly. I love how it all starts with a somewhat strange sign. You are a true artist, and you birth entire realities from your experiences. Thank you.

So rich and haunting. I really admire how comfortable you are in a sestina--you make it seem so natural.
