I’m too stupid for your poèmes.

No you're not!

And I love them. I always feel like there’s a knife twist in the chest. And I will reread and pick up more of the little lines you tie in so discreetly.

I am ready for the 700 word poem.

This is beautifully written. You ever thought about commissioning this into a song? It's got a lot of good hit points for a blues tune. That kinda heart-wailing rhythm

Thanks, Bryan. I haven't thought of commissioning it into a song, but almost all of my poetry was written with music in my head. I hear tunes for them, I just can't play anything or read music.

Beautifully written, wow! So sad, it brought me to tears. I can feel this whole poem. Thank you, I love it! (Even though it makes me cry).💚
