bittersweet. i wanted more, but i have to admit you closed this poem enough to hang without being hung. a few comments:
first line: "The abscission of voice comes,"> calm yet executed. the way the sharp, mysterious cutting off that 'comes' to linger before it approaches the place where you stand is a beautiful whisper for such an ache most would scream out loud.
the rest of the poem fell in place with grace.

Sometimes a poem touches you in a way that is difficult to express with words, especially when the write is executed with such eloquence... loved this.

Strong imagery, and as beautifully written as one could expect from you!

Very beautiful and soulful - Someone once said to me that a woman's eyes are always the most beautiful after they have cried! Call me a romantic but it touched

This is beautiful. Good rhythm and although the poem feels "uneven" in its choice of words it's theme is breathtaking

I like this a lot: it's the kind of poem that begs to be read and re-read so that every last drop of goodness can be absorbed. Good stuff!

very commanding....command of language...a poem i can't find fault with 'cause I don't know enough about it. i can't see you in it. i don't like people. so i like your poem, whereas i don't like mine...'cause i'm in 'em too much.....'abscission', 'veins', 'bleeds', 'coagulation'- bloody bloody visceral yes....i love it. good good words. thanks.
