I enjoy the extreme polarity you often have going on.

"If I do not long for all of me, there is no crueler punishment."

It's the soul of a poet that legitimately feels these extremes.

Wow, Faye. This whole thing is beautiful. We live in a world of pretend edges and boundaries, of expectations that we fit into made-up norms that so many have become completely hypnotized by.

You and your writing defy this in the most marvelous ways. I'm gonna have a tough time figuring out which part to highlight and restack, but the payoff is worth the seeming impossibility of the task.

And I'm struck by the eerie synchronicity of things. How is it that you and I both posted pieces referencing Watts (though mine is implicit), referencing the deep dark void of reality and how it becomes impregnated, thus giving birth to the mind-bending, overflowing spill of spectra both visible and beyond? How is it that you pull the exact same e.e. cummings quote as another post I just read by another friend and fellow writer (https://thecosmicgumballmachine.substack.com/p/gumball-37-apples-and-oranges)?
