Um hindsight 2020. You're banging on an open door. Hallucinating locks. I'm soaking wet from the bath, sitting on silk kimonos, small and wide with grief. There was never a time true, you couldn't have entered. There was never a time I wouldn't have fallen to my knees in yearning's release that you finally finally returned. Waiting fool's errand, walking home for 20 years. I I needed us into it. There was never time. There was no space

I just wanted to say, wow, what a poem. That is just so striking and the imagery that it conjures and the way you're conveying this longing and this angst and I think regret, perhaps maybe I'm getting that wrong, but it's really the way it just sort of grabs you and it's just really powerful. Is not every poem is cinematic, but some poems feel like a movie. And this poem feels like a movie. Thank you for sharing. It's amazing

It's. Ah, that's so great. I love that it feels like a movie to you. It felt like I was birthing a movie writing this. There was a lot of labor pains, if you know what I mean. But then there's a release. So thank you so much for listening and replying. Appreciate
Oh, wow. So, so powerful, so beautiful. The storytelling that you do in your poetry is what I love best about it. The imagery that you portray in your poetry is so vivid and so passionate. I can just find myself in those spaces, translated to that time and place, wherever it is that you are talking about in your piece. I find myself there sometimes as a spectator and sometimes as the character herself, feeling all the feels and looking through her eyes

Wow. That was beautiful. The line that caught my attention was walking home for 20 years. That line just hooked me. It felt like an anchor into the pit of my stomach. And I could just get caught up in that feeling of that desolate and yeah, that emotion. You captured it so beautifully. Thank you so much. Bye

It's the picture you paint. 20 years longing, wanting, space for us. I love it. I love how it conveys that longing. Everything about that longing and wanting and leaving space for it, though not given. Thank you for sharing

I just felt it deep in my soul. Definitely appreciate you sharing. It's so creative. It's very intense, and I appreciated the intensity, especially for a Monday. It was a really good way to kind of, like, cap off the day. I hope that you had a fantastic day. I appreciate you including me. I'm glad to be a part of your community, and I'm certainly glad to have you as part of mine

Oh, hey, thank you so much. I feel the same about your poetry, I think, you know, sometimes we're we're creating something that's about us, but it's able to reflect so much about another person's experience. There's so much magic in that when when that happens. And thank you so much for listening. Love

Oh, you nailed it. It is and was such an anchor. I felt like I was dragging around with me all the time. And it resided there in my core, in my solar plexus. You know, my seat of power had the heaviest weight in it. No pun intended. Wait. W-E-I-G-H-T. But because of the waiting, it was there. And at any moment, I could have said, no, f*** this. I'm done. I'm leaving
