Hey, brilliant woman, I love you <3

Yup, she is.

It's quite true that if I read another "he soared too high and his wings caught on fire" reference I may just puke

Write a poem about it...

Beautiful, fitful, uncomfortable.

I think I should read this a few more times, but I couldn't contain myself I was so overjoyed with your layers and animus tugging. I am still struck by the mythological constructs of Hypnos and reincarnation, Thanatos and Somnus, shroud of literal and figurative construct, all woven in with what smacks of a bruised psyche and internal personality conflicts. Beauty so often breeds pain, and you are quite masterful when it comes to layering your pieces with fragments of universal truths/the human condition and mythos.

I shall return, promise.

Holy crap. U perceived all that from the depths of the words? I am so at the top layer. I was just enjoying figuring out who is describing what and to whom from the words and now I know that I was barely seeing just 2 of the (how) many(?) dimensions of the poem.
Being poetically challenged is a worse handicap then I thought..
