An interesting take on - I think - aging. Forgive me, but I missed some of your metaphors. As I am not a poet, that is my problem not yours. Thanks for sharing it. Good luck in the contest and be well.

For a first publication, this is a good poem. The separation aspect is hard to understand. The various aspects of separation of the body from anxiety is rather vague. I don't know if I am reading you right but the poem flows well. Perhaps, an explanation in the notes would be helpful. Congratulations on your first posting. All the best for the contest.

Congrats on your first post! I enjoyed it. Your poem captures anxiety so well! I like how you shared a series of intense and often unsettling images. Each line makes me feel almost suffocation. I love how you added "Breathe" into the poem - it works so well as showing how anxiety can overwhelm you if you let it. Great job!

Hi
Welcome to the site.
This is a good first entry. It seems to say that you are finding it hard to breathe in these hard times using the little sun to bring yourself out
of the dryness of emotions.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day
Joan
