wildflower this was such a beautiful reply! I love the delicacy at the start slowing building to a deeper, impassioned, less tamed love. Your reading adds so much to it too, I love hearing the words right from the mouth of their creator. Love it!
Thank you so much, Harry!! Your poem is fantastic!! I wanted to write a dignified reply. It was my first reading and I was really worried it wouldn’t be good enough.
It was brilliant! As someone who used to hate my own voice, I so totally get it, but just stick with it and you’ll be surprised how more normal it can feel to record. Plus, you may hear your own poetry in a new way, I certainly do now.
I love that last part, Harry. This is why I love audio and why push for it with this publication. Hearing it from the writer makes a writing take on such new meanings.
Both of your readings were so good. I’m so fortunate to have you both here on this publication. 🌞💖
I was worried you’d be angry with me! I hoped I’d pushed just enough without it being too much. I really was so happy when I received your audio the next day. It’s an absolute honour for me to be alongside you on this journey. Please don’t think twice ever about reading your work out loud for us, your readers and followers. Your voice holds so much presence and beauty.
It was just the right dose for me. I could never be angry on you!! Thank you so much, I never liked my voice on audios but you gave me a new view on it.
Well this was nice to land upon! You should consider reaching out to me so you can come a part of the series, Dwight! I am in a state of transitioning the publication to combine forces with Jozef Cain to continue ongoing collaborations as it gets tricky to run a community platform on one's own. I'd love to have you featured in upcoming poetic letters.

Thank you so much for not giving up convincing me to do the reading. 🫶🏻 It was such a barrier in the beginning and finally so easy to do!!

What love is this whose “smoke filled my lungs
tarred lust stuck to every edge
A beautiful blackening” ?
Why am I so attracted to that which loves to deplete me?
Why am I emptied by fullness
And filled by emptiness?
What kind of Muse is this
That mistakes and then forsakes
Me for another?
I am blinded by a match
Struck at midnight. And yet
able to trod a crooked path
Lit only by darkness.

Thank you so much, Mark!! It was so much fun, doing this!!
Stark clouds tar my lips kissed by warm sun melt
the roads recover asphalt splendor;
rise with rain cascades, lost moments rivulets rush--
lip synced down pressed by tired thoughts, soul splashes.
The tar rises black, but with water a mixture of rain-botic memories
to color the kisses consumed into a night of thunderous light.
Fantastic!!
Beautiful work... I love how dark the images are and a poetry is like a song, it's smoking hot Sylvia ❤️
Thanks so much, Ral!!
