I like the somewhat foreboding mood. This piece makes it easy to imagine the cacophony of sounds, especially imagining my own internal narrative voice reading this as its own cry.

I like this. Thank you Sosa. I’ve been thinking a lot about recorded poetry vs read and this is a strong argument for the latter

Thank you Erin. Very much this^

Still struggling with it as I blast my poetry into the infinitesimal. I want to write beyond my own squawking for attention 💚

Maybe I’ll go to the moon!
