love how descriptive the piece is, and how fluid and adaptable the format is too!

Really loved your characterizations of different runners. I'm a beginner!

@lostletters thank you so much - and nice, always great to hear about more people picking up the sport!

i just went through reading all of ur previous works and wow. WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YOUR WORK IS SO GOOD!!!!

@symphonic thank you!! that's really flattering, so glad you enjoyed my work :)

very powerful imagery, I really like the concept of systemhood as this river with different currents that are interconnected yet distinct from each other (that is if I read it correctly, apologies if not)!

@ryo you can read it however you want!! but thank you so much, i'm glad you got that image/idea from it :) there was a lot i was trying to say with this piece and i'm glad i could say at least some of it!

this is so so beautiful; your imagery is impeccable

@pj thank you so much! that means a lot coming from you!!!

I really like the format, I think it really gets across this sort of dichotomy of hope and despair finding their synthesis in the compromise of existence. It's quite powerful in its simplicity, I really like it!

i think you missed me

of course !! that totally makes sense :] we hope to have you back whenever you feel like you have the capacity ! 💗

I love the format of a bullet list, it's almost like there is no need to speak the connecting tissue out loud because it is so clear in its essence. lovely poem as always!

thank you so much ryo!!! i'm so glad the format worked as intended hehe, being a part of muse ariadne and seeing how differently people format their work makes us wanna experiment more!! - j

I like how raw and 'unclean' the feeling you're communicating is, kind of like those thoughts that we find too ugly or shameful to share despite being very common and human. I really like the format too, and the contrast created by the differing lengths of the two paragraphs!
