"I look back on poetry
to understand you
to understand me
because it is only in
those terms that everybody
should be understood."

Wow... I absolutely loved this piece, it stood out to me more so than the other lines. This here made me feel so strong. Sometimes the lines of communication get mixed up and are hard to define where we stand - but in poetry, mixed within the metaphors and imagery, we find ourselves and our real feelings - we're able to understand a little better.

The only critique I have is the structure of the poem. The outline of it was a bit rocky, your line breaks were great until about the second half - I feel they were too broken up and as though they were two poems thrown together. The words themselves were amazing as usual, but the layout made me focus more so on that than the feeling and words you placed before us. :)
