I really admire the way last
Posted on Sat, 15 Feb 2020
I really admire the way last words in the lines stand out, as with - wild, hurled, and the alliteration of wind and wild. I feel my throat opening like the sky as I read it, to make the long vowel sounds in my mind. Would be a great one to hear...

I had not heard of "indwelling" before. Having looked it up, it's a great word :0) There is a quiet, positive power in this:

I like the details revealing age, of taking care, of themselves and of each other, the way he holds the glass of water till her fingers grip it is so tender, the way he has to manage his heart, what he can do. Finding music he knew on the radio....
