This is a devastating piece. It twists and turns itself inside out and then back again. The shape and the width of suit the the theme of the poem. I love how you take whatever makes you weak, fragile and vulnerable and let it make you grow stronger. Inside, out and back again with a vengeance.

It made me feel terrifyingly powerful. Like I was afraid of my own power. I loved the comparison of the body to the earth.
