WTFWT

I crashed in - landed in the middle interrupted by twilight ~ nothing has a beginning being the breeze, I shouldn't stop but silhouettes, outlines ~ stillness, waiting to be drawn out they need me, I need them I inhale myself, slow time as it ticks and tangles I unravel it stone steps not worn away but laden and sagging with occurrence and the souls incandescent their backdrop the sun may I tell you anyway? language without words follicles transmit and receive 'there' as a tingle 'this' as a swoop voids aren't empty they cradle the gaps and I've watched you... the gaze of seaglass locked behind windows an aura of one you so very nearly knew oh, my eyes have closed - it ended - unless you can catch me again in the glint

WTF wasn't That. 'there' as a tingle 'this' as a swoop voids aren't empty they cradle the gaps. Habitual ways become you, your thoughts always welcoming. Done justice to what JL wants -Get lost in the forest of alliterative lunacy. Brilliant!

I'd love if we could add a poll to ask if anyone gets it haha 1) have you ever understood the feeling loosely labelled 'swoop'? 2) do you agree voids cradle gaps? 3) etc.

I thought the physical structure of your poem was ideally suited to a chaotic landing of one's thoughts and words. Not quite sure to make of this poem, but I liked it nonetheless. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

Haha I actually had to Google the prompt to know what the letters stood for - hopefully your response means I'm in the right ballpark :)
