etherwave - really dope. this verse seems to be about perspective and coping. the author is normally in a state of uncertainty but was able to frame her day to day mental activity into art as to say, to cushion the fall. There seems to be an antithesis looming about in reference to "him". it wasn't explored enough to me but i think i understand the gist and allusion of it. bravo.
Headless - this had a more traditional narrative structure to it. Earlier on i was very distracted by all the "me". But the story move along nicely. What i got from this is of a girl who was constantly abused verbally by dad, and was completely apathetic after he died. remind me of the tupac line, "father died, but my heart woudnt let me feel for a stranger" or something like that.
These verses are so insynced that they were almost like companion pieces. But i enjoyed one more than the other so my vote goes to
Etherwave. I felt she was a bit more nuanced in her writing. which i always enjoy.
