whine and flicker
off once-white tiles This is a clever use of the word "off"
a drop of blood
falls from your nostril
in slow motion, explodingIn terms of new, unique, and special ideas, this image is a little lacking
small puffs of powder
from the off-white line
on the cistern
heavy gravity
in the v of dive; I particularly like this comparison.
it’s happy hour Part of me thinks this line could use slightly more clarity and directness. However, I worry that doing so could inhibit the poem.
