After the anniversary

[addy]

Loved this. The imagery was quiet, vivid, and affecting all at once. You were able to convey ideas of fullness and emptiness in cleverly subtle ways. Instead of turning on and off, everything was upending, blooming, dimming, etc. What I found most distracting was the tense shifts throughout the poem, as Aish already pointed out. Stick to one and it'll probably flow easier
