Feel like I'm a kid in the country again, miss it a bit. Not the nettles.

This is lovely: image-laden, word-dextrous, focus-shifting, deeply simple.

I love this, especially the refusal to explain anything, to just paint images like a collage, almost without a subject. It felt immersive like East Asian poetry, and there's such a gentle kind of vibrance to this piece. Thank you!

This doesn’t feel rememberedβ€”it feels relived. That β€œmolasses-sweet” safety, the β€œragged-lung burn,” the reckless energy of a day that feels like it might never end. Not nostalgiaβ€”something wilder, freer.

Beautiful work.
