[dead man]

nice.

i remember recently reading somebody pair us up as similar or parallel writers I'm not sure which. i think this short verse may both capture the spirit of that comparison and debunk it all at once. i believe our thought pattern may be similar when deciding how to write. how to describe. how to make abstract concepts concrete in a visceral way. minimalistic and sharp is how i can best define your mannerisms. but at the same time you have the ability to take a single thought - ie., a stain on a coffee table - and give it life through the dasein of that table. the spirit of it is not in it's surface but in it's grain. it's imperfections and it's relative experiences that we attach to it. you opened up with really seasonal visuality. gloomy and gray. mood is like color or vice versa but there's a reason we attach the two so closely. i liked your use of language, how you loosely tie together your image with your subject and let the reader sort of guide themselves through your construct. this was a freeze frame, a picture of remorse with an after-burn that comes with acceptance and adaptation. move on.


thanks split
