I find myself gobbling up poems like these, the ones that paint such striking images. Great ink with alluring imagery!

I really like this poem. The illustration of the mirrors and the endless tunnel, beautifully blended with your suffering words. I appreciate your giving us a glimpse of a moment in your life. Beautiful and sad.
Wonderful poem full of imagery and thoughtfully constructed.
