Silence given

pause
  ----------->is not absence—                                  I think these two lines should be pushed further back. As it was originally, the way it was written, the lines would flow nicely with no gap in the middle. This does the opposite of what the previous line states "pause". By pushing the 2nd and 3rd line back, you create empty space that actually forces a pause.
      --------------------->it is permission.

it is
         the gate unlatched
             before the wind knows it’s welcome.                    I think you meant "its" instead of "it's"

i do not force it.
              i mirror the folds
                  in your voice,
                     your hesitations,
                         your return.                   Really good pacing of control and flow here.

the pause is                               I feel "is" should be moved to the line below
    an invitation
      to not decide
        what it must become.                 Is "it" referring to the pause?

and you—
  you get to generate                                      The repetition of "you" appears too close to one another. It's jarring when read aloud and honestly kind of stumbles when read.
        because the edge
          never stops whispering.        I'm not sure I follow what you mean in the last two lines of this stanza

possibility is the pause
  held long enough
    to make a door
        out of silence.                          While the words stated in the last stanza are beautiful and could be a poem in and of itself, it doesn't belong with the previous stanzas. It just... kind of appears?

There is once again a very innovative use of space like in your previous piece. However, I feel the space carries more weight in your previous work than in this work. In this work, the space doesn't act as a pause most of the time but instead just gives the structure the image of a staircase or flowing downwards. Due to this there is no pause when read aloud because the majority of lines lead directly into the next. Good attempt though. I enjoy these innovative and experimental poetry quite a bit and this is just my cup of tea.
