I've been keeping scraps of paper, mental notes of lifelong dialogues, working out the daily knots within around the stone lodged in my chest. Creases of heartbreak punctuate in line each year, starting with your first fighting. Screaming, wailing, cry out the birth canal of change. Even if it's all in your head. Loss kills you one breath at a time, always wanting what slipped you by

I feel like there's so much in this piece, arya there's that the fear of loss and actual loss, and yet there's also resilience at the end. Because you've been out there on the edge every day and you're still there. No matter what. No matter what's happened, you're still there. There's a lot in here to feel

And I always looked forward to entering my own grace, which I knew intrinsically because I was young, I didn't have and I had the awkwardness and all of those things that are really hard to get through when you have to live them. So now, as I'm aging and much, much older, I feel like, yes, all of the loss cannot be denied, and all of those things that we live cannot be forgotten. But there is something to be celebrated, too

I love that you said life didn't get easier. You got easier. I think there's so much truth to that. Life is just life, you know? There are always things happening for good or for bad, and we just have to learn how to deal with it. And I think as we get older, we learn to let go a little bit of I don't know, of the strife, maybe, and we get to say, okay, I can still breathe

I think you write serious poetry, but if you considered writing humor poetry, definitely write something for Virgil Slump. Humor poetry. It's one of those poetry awards. Happens every year. It's open right now and there's a cash prize. I think you'd win it easily. Easily, easily was so profound. Such a nice way to frame this. Touching the edge. Interesting
