Whenever I read a poem of yours I feel as if I don't know the full extent of what is going on in it. This is no different--in fact, it's even more so. Brilliant, though. And lovely. <3
Oh, this is phenomenal. Thank you so much! This line -- "He knew, he knew. He went anyway." gives me chills. And I love how he only has three songs to play, and the parallels between Eurydice and Persephone, and the references to The Waste Land, and how Orpheus in the modern world is really exactly how we'd expect him to be. Perfect, perfect.
This is indeed very very good. I'm not quite sure how you do it, but you do it every time. Gorgeous. And the ending, the suffocating weight of nothing moving... gah.
