Breathe, thank you so much for your wise and thoughtful response. I'm in awe of how well you see into this poem, and are able to express it in ways that feel brand-new. I just love your vision and your interpretation, the asphalt and the grief, the way grief disembodies us. Thank you, thank you for your gifted vision—truly remarkable.

Passionate about poetry; mine is a work in progress. I’m an editor who reads a lot, but when I read in my free time, I don’t change a word. Love to paddleboard!
