  • not just immediately...

    the second stanza had the essence of no shaped or stamped reaction of appearance per se as the finality looked upon but potential. It does reflect an aim to make things seen well, listing one's for flourishing fullness with nurture as cultivated celebration yet to be; like spoken of saffron in Isaiah 35 that can be cared for more conducively soon of spread ease.

    the latter half of the write is our unprofessional parallel I feel but in peronality by complex tugs and tags, together as goals and legitimate now. concern for one rolls into other it should seem.

    compartments of strength and sensitivity can be refocused,

    I had a parallel pull

    this could be literal or exaggerated distance and duration of separation as this chemical sensitive mamma feels by marginal highway that husband and daughter trips out to.

    the mingling of the first stanza gets a grip of description yet on an edge of time to share. the second connects intelligence for moment with slowed down alliteration. and then the third is a burst, which was next with what stopped me with " Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
    I love you still among these cold things." one isn't swamped by environment to swap concentration totally. but then the ending there emotes worry of object permanence developed arched or angled in a heart first learned as a baby with walking family.

    heaviness of paths in shadow without sureness echoes this afterwards! Oh, proposals of self's life have no aim but mechanical in such ache. then setting is sketchboard of of moving memory towards modeling.

    sighingly enchanting,

    attention by more than name with participation turn

    this is so inventive from title to curled in talk...

    wow, the warmth of imagery by physically squeezing in the topic of astronomical setting for feet among touch or eyes. imagine not only wanting it reread but iterated again over the itty bitty five digits pressed (slightly) in hand on lap and alertness, that can have circulation of comfort colors by speed that could be asked to be done again... until understanding zip of story's sensation too! discomfort could bring different answers right along with curiosity, what a treasured youngster to take in lesson of traveling choice and health quickness -- overlapped peep

    phenomenally smiled,

    creation for forceful sense

    there's a consternmation for concern that is just procedure

    associations are made with the oddity of duty without closeness, as with "Even through the gift paper I could hear them breathe
    Lightly, through their white swaddlings, like an awful baby.
    Their redness talks to my wound, it corresponds." flitting without fulfillment thoughts are not involved but "They have propped my head between the pillow and the sheet-cuff
    Like an eye between two white lids that will not shut.
    Stupid pupil, it has to take everything in." corresponding without response has a suffering for inanimate things of true environment almost with "I watched my teaset, my bureaus of linen, my books
    Sink out of sight, and the water went over my head." caring is not as ricocheted but questioned from one collapse to another, body or spirt or both to be focused.

    It writes of what isn't but tries as when hundred mile per hour expulsion of air takes me back to my dad's apartment, repeating. when vicious cycle makes for curiosity over any love of violence to just not emit but not sniff, or "I am nobody; I have nothing to do with explosions.
    I have given my name and my day-clothes up to the nurses" as attendance can't be to emptiness. viscous is consciousness, shake it how from which start or continuance.
