ohhhh i like this one

this is such a beautiful poem! i'm glad that ikb 79 speaks to you so much, it really is a wonderful shade of blue. - j

i love this sm ! what a perfect moment to focus in on (hi sorry didn't want to change accounts to reply)

I love the new poem so much - the promise of conformity can feel comforting at times, yet for so many of us it is nothing more than a slow-acting poison. thank you for putting it into words so beautifully, the love and hope in this piece are inspiring!

you're so sweet, thank you so much! i defiinitiely think the way we ask ourselves to conform can sometimes be euphoric, but also really harmful sometimes, n it was nice to acknowledge that while still showing respect for all the collected knowledge on how to pass, etc

"on lou sullivan’s advice" is so so beautiful and important... i like your rhymes

" ...I should try to want like a man does / without pause or question." hits hard!!!

incredibly resonating. its so frustrating when you finally discover who you are, yet instead of being able to bask in the joy of that you have to constantly keep fighting what feels like a losing battle of conformity. oh can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all...

oh, and it goes without saying, but you're a great writer and i always love reading your prompts <3

you guys are all so sweet, ty kindly !! i'm really glad the poem resonates with you guys. it's suchhh a frustrating feeling to be forced into conformity and i think it's once we all feel at some point or another

I like this, in a sense it feels like an ode to life itself in all its facets through the cyclicality of the oroborous. I think your passion for its imagery shines through very clearly!

this made me smile a lot as i read it. i like the ouroboros too and this poem felt so earnestly joyful and appreciative of the cyclicality of the cosmos!

loveeee your choice of language, feels very flowy and powerful at the same time :))

oh this is so gorgeous n i Def feel like it could make such a cool song !!

AHH this is so cool & i love that you fucked around with two prompts at once !! awesome move :]

that last line hits hard, I love your version of it. I get the sense of an ember of hope burning through the desperation and exhaustion. Great work!

this is so awesome, i really liked it. it's so powerful and heavy and tender all at once!

oh this is so beautiful, ty for sharing

thank you for sharing this with us, it's a very powerful and evocative poem - can't speak for the original piece but it's a great translation, I'm sure the former is just as biting!

@xalli @ryo thank you so much!! that means a lot to me! translating stuff is fun, especially when you get to play with it a little! :D

translation is a skill that i respect so much, amazing job :))

@caesthoffe thank you so much!! after writing, i was delighted to learn that nobody has ever translated this particular poem before i did (and if they did, it's not online) - j
