This is so beautiful, I wept. Tears are my most eloquent response to poetry. I have no words deep enough. The tiny birds that nestle within you, the little engines of the soul that flew between you and your father and bound you to each other.

Your poetry is always so spare, so evocative and it brings out the child in me; it's like I'm sensing the world vividly anew.

This poem with its love and terrors and its cry is one of the best things I have read recently. Stunning, thank you so much for this.
