I really appreciate the honesty and self-awareness of this piece, I especially like how you called back to your earlier poems. I love the imagery of the porch in the middle!
Something I've been doing with Muse pieces in general is callbacks! Usually via metaphors echoing forwards. I find it fun and it inspires me to find ways to connect them.
this is really beautiful!!! i loved reading it! thank you so much for sharing, the imagery was fantastic and dazzling!
Thank you! I always thought they were quite popular, but their name really isn't put out there as much as it should be. Thirteenth Step is beautiful.
Do you have a favorite song of theirs? I'm tied between Passive, The Noose, and Blue. Passive was the first song I heard from them!
I love Passive and Blue. My favourite has to be Pet—it was the first song I heard from them.
Also a solid choice! I find it neat how much the tone of a song can change while the lyrics are the same: Pet vs Counting Bodies Like Sheep.
