    This is so powerful in its brevity. The imagery of the black kite is striking, symbolizing both freedom and the inner storms we carry. The phrase ‘Black on Black’ feels layered, evoking identity, struggle, and resilience. I love how the poem conveys so much emotion and depth in just a few lines. Beautifully done. it really stayed with me
