Fox your poems always have such a strong confident sense of voice! Love the unexpected contrast of "verdant & withering" here and the sense of both place and place-lessness. Hope to keep following along, I always enjoy your poetry!
you should know i am a time traveler & there is no season as achingly temporary as now
There’s a vulnerability here that’s both reverent and devastating!! Like, the emotional palette drifts between yearning and surrender, and I love how the geography of love (East Nowhere / Shangri-La / the moon) becomes both metaphor and map. Beautiful!!
i want to find you on the verge of complete absolution
Ooooooh! That last poem is so interesting and imagery-full; I always enjoy your unique phrasing foxtails!
i would become the moon to relive those cyan minutes where you loved me wholeheartedly
<3 the way that you tip-toe to the heartaching part in the first stanza creates a sort of anticipation for the rest of the poem. Nicely written! Looking forward to reading more!

People say I love you all the time - when they say, ‘take an umbrella, it’s raining,’ or ‘hurry back,’ or even ‘watch out, you’ll break your neck.’ There are hundreds of ways of wording it - you just have to listen for it, my dear. — John Patrick, The Curious Savage
