The way that the words are woven in this cause the reader to concentrate for the meaning as the flow captivates the thought process. Specific parts that stood out, like, "eyelash horizon", and "where a blink should shutter-refracts streetlights and answers", bring a greater totality to the work, as it hits the reader on several levels of interpretation. It is an interesting concept you've addressed, and the conclusion really causes the reader to think about how true that conclusion really is. The "S" sound that you've linked through this gives this the sinister sound that ties into the overall theme well. The specific detail in the first stanza sets the scene well. Personally, I'm just happy to read anything new from you, and this does not disappoint. Well constructed, well worded, and the pace and flow are extraordinary. Well done. MD:77.

When I read the title, I didn't know exactly what to think. And after reading the summary, that feeling only grew... But it has turned out quite well (was there ever any doubt?). A somewhat eerie poem, beautifully visual. A wonderful piece.

And congratulations on getting published/winning contest! Very well done, indeed.
