This poem is absolutely breathtaking. It takes the reader through the meanderings of your mind, as Mike said, in a rhythmic, musical sort of way. It feels incredibly creative and healing all at once, sharing kisses of the Muse, generous and tender. Definitely heart-opening 💗

Thank you for your beautiful reflection Veronika. Sharing kisses of the Muse, I love that. It did feel exactly that way. Recognition of tenderness, eros coursing through all of me, illuminating the beauty of all these facets of experience in one unraveling thread.

Thank you Mike, I feel so seen. It was one of those days where I could sense something stirring within me from the moment I woke up, and eventually the moment came when I was overcome with sensation, like I imagine happens with musicians, too. I have now read this out loud several times and I concur. It feels good to speak it. I think I'll record it. Maybe at 1 am ;) I'm loving this idea of the poem composing a musical key...

This makes me feel like it would be fun to gather a group of Substack poets for an evening of readings
