I think you may have posted this in the week I lost my internet connection because, I seem to have totally missed this wonderfully mysterious poem and surely this is the reason. |
The slow tolling is adeptly forced on the reader by the spacing, well done. |

I am glad this has been nominated and also that you posted it because it's great well more than great but reminded me of Cinderella losing her glass slipper. You know all those fairy tales that girls like me get strung up on lol a D they never actually happen more like idiots in tin foil hahaha I know, I know not all men are the same I just make bad choices LOL! |

Pendulum's eventually come to rest at it's equilibrium position - I wonder what the equilibrium position is for the subject (the women). Is it repentance? Is it acceptance? I read it backwards as well, and it feels more like the former; the image of 'breath creeping' paints someone invigorated with a new sense of life, to me at least. |
