    Sublime, Melissa. Truly Sublime. How, like LC said, you have conveyed, described, emoted so much in so little is just impressive. Loved it. Also wanted to be cheeky and point you in the direction of this poem, for good reason - you're referenced! - sorry for the linkbomb but hope it's understandable - https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/magister-operis-epici-ode-ad-creatores-vocales%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

    Memory captured two-fold: the initial one and now the one created by the remembering. Lovely.

    Nicely crafted 🩷 I enjoy the sense it gives of that memory.
