Very interesting poem indeed...
The last stanza threw me a bit. But I got it on the second read :)

So very cool....as always I am in awe of your processes. Thanks for the treasures you give me. (for everyone, I know, but I claim them to my inner being)

These words swirled about and you seemingly grabbed them from the air and arranged them on the page. I won/'/t pretend to get it ( exactly ) but I so love abstract because it often inspires me to write.
Thank you,

What a pleasurable read. Everything from the apt title to the graphic description of our process as writers.
Excellent job.
