So glad you published this, Tyler! I’ve enjoyed watching the evolution of the poem and can still hear it in your voice from your reading at the Habit retreat. It’s so rich—worth savoring again. 😊
This is an astonishingly rich work. I’ve had the pleasure of reading it before, and with every reading I see more depths to plumb. Indeed, “…sipping is sweet / and the death a door.” Strong work, my friend!

Thanks, Rachel!
So good!
Love Part 2. And these lines especially of Part 3 stood out: "Yours may be the aroma of death to the dying
and to me, but sipping is sweet
and the death a door. And you, yourself once passed
this way."
Can tell there's a lot of layers and room for deep-diving in this poem - great job!
Thanks, Sierra!

Thanks so much, Lee! Thankful to have had your help and the Habitation crew to round the rough edges on this one.
