| Posted by Laura Doom on 09/11/09 at 11:39 PM Good to read something that shows consideration for poetics -- internal rhyme & rhythm -- to give this piece self-awareness. |

mirrors and vulnerability... |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 09/23/09 at 08:45 PM I feel loneliness in this, and being shut off and shut out. Each stanza has a thought-twisting impact. |

| Posted by JD Clay on 11/08/09 at 05:59 PM This brings to mind the phrase: dance like no one is watching. Mainly because you can’t do that unless you know yourself. From the meaningful and time tested Latin title to your indulgence in fine poetics, well done. |
