An intricate construction that really shines as an exploration of language, relationships and character. I want to go back and re-read it at some point in the near future to consider things like the use/portrayal of gender and vision more closely, as there's a lot to potentially unpack.
hopeful mysterious slow-paced

Some poetry I think you can enjoy while fully accepting that you're not smart enough to understand it.
