Hi!
Love your poem it is very emotional and you know it really makes you want to re-read it again and you understand it more and more as you keep reading it. And I just think maybe “The morning fog is hyphae on wet bread.” Sound better maybe its just my opinion the original one is also very brilliantly written. Anyways great poem 👍🏻

Beautiful imagery! It's clear that you have put a lot of thought into the words you have used. I was impressed by every verse but what really stuck with me is "pools of starlight in my brise". Beautiful and haunting way to start a poem, Def cught my attention. "Brajded knots" is honestky extremly clever. In my first read I thought of it as a allowing feeling- in my second I thought of how clever of a description that was to show unresponsiveness.

The last verses of the poem are very impactful- bringing the whole thing togeather. Beautiful phrased to

The only criticism I have is about the structure. I do appreciate it being free- it instills a sense of unfinished-ness and sorrow which I love. But I personally feel like it is overdone. It is slightly too fragmented imo
