So I'm a bit drunk and reading these right now, so perhaps that makes me more able to write this now that I usually would, but I love your poetry so much. It breaks convention of cadence but maintains it so well. It takes on conversational imagery but makes it so beautiful. I wait all the time to find more of your poems.

I actually had a dream about you specifically for the first time the other day. We were laying in a huge... Box? A chest, more like? Outside in some amalgam of my work campus and your school campus that you saw as a creative space, and you were handing me poems you were writing at an incredible pace, about your loves, your fears, your home, your ideas of beauty. I'd actually forgotten about the dream until reading III just now. It's fascinating how dreams work like that.

Anyway, I absolutely love your poetry.

Thank you for all of that.

Dreams are funny. I like to make mine into poems of late. I am trying to write a set about dreams and sleep actually. So the coincidence is amusing.

I'm drunk-ish, too!

I am really happy with how well III has stood up to time if I am honest. I did a few edits and I think there's one or two structural flaws but in general you know what? I'm still very proud of the poem. I am collecting all my fish poems together too, to see if they can make a story.

I finna text you an audio recording.

:) I am touched and happy that you enjoy my poems this much. I am very glad you shared. Yay for drinks and drunks!

Hooray!

I've been trying to focus my dreams into writing lately. I haven't been able to write a word in over two years, but for some reason, my dreams have all the ideas in them. Just need to... do it. Get the words to work with me.

Please do send it! I'd love to hear it! Additionally, we're on IRC if you want to join us!
