I really admire the way last
Posted on Sat, 15 Feb 2020

I had not heard of
Posted on Wed, 12 Feb 2020
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:
"Not so bright to shine beyond
Nor enough to light the way
But an indwelling warmth

Posted on Thu, 30 Jan 2020
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....

Posted on Thu, 30 Jan 2020
I love your walking poems, with their breathing rhythm. But I love this too, the pause of it:

I like this one very much. Well, not like, because it is grim. Admire. The idea of earthworms being like memories in the tunnels of your mind and "uncoil of earthworms" is wonderful.

You evoke a very strong feeling of uneasiness:
she will show you
that you are no hunter at all -

I like the waterfall "c"
Posted on Wed, 08 Jan 2020
