So much pain, here. A difficult read but studded with lots of poetry and a hint of wry sarcasm.

Philip, a marvellous poem.

Philip, a marvellous poem. Have read it over and over, feels crafted to precision. The speech transformation is a repulsively attractive image, phlegmy reptiles all over the feet, cold and spewed up. Composition wise it's flawless. Exciting that...

Adored this. Beautifully done. Can picture the process of how he/she got bones to plate artfully, the deft knife along lines of flight. I saw euthanasia in it. You've restrained emotion, made it procedural, which gives it so much more than you...
