The poignance of the second poem is nearly (and exquisitely) unbearable—which is the beauty of it. I love that time is standing still and also moving inexorably backward and forward. And the gorgeous decay…how can pain and longing so deep be so sublime? Lovely work!
What a robust and different way to approach a poem. It’s like a novel and a poem at the same time without becoming prose. Cool. Also sad and somewhat terrifying.

I deeply feel "Lush" as if I've been in the same apartment. Beautiful work, Vanessa.
Aw, thank you so much, Justine!
