I'm so intrigued by the form this poem takes. When I read it in my head all of the line breaks make me want to slow down and really take my time with each word and image. It makes me realize how fleeting and important those words and images are when you may have limited time.
Your feedback is so insightful - no surprise! - yes, I was trying to slow everything down. To make each word resonate and feel deliberate, intentional. I also wanted the poem to look like a long parade of words. Thanks for your careful reading and for taking the time to comment!
