Beautiful reflections, poems and fragments. To write something as simple and perpetual as " I wished for what I always wish for. / I wished for another poem." is just 🤌. One of the many gifts from Glück. Thank you!
Ditto everyone else—it’s beautiful, Devin. Thanks especially for the lines from her later poem, about waiting to be transformed. They tickle something inside, something in the chapter I’m working on. Like tickling the ivories in the mind. I hear the key changing, the chapter making a needed turn.
I agree with @andrew--this essay is one of your best. It rings true--profound and poignant and personal. And this: “[p]oems are little ghosts we leave behind of the people we once were or continue to be.” Wow.
God! Devin, this is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever read
Thank you so much, Andrew

What a treasured read. Describing feelings and musings I have held most of my life and not been able to express in such a way. Thank you thank you.
