Hm. I still don't know how I feel about literary references, but I've used them before, so I guess I can't be a hypocrite. Very musical. Nice title, too.

i adore your sparse haunting imagery and dark/light sardonic style

. . . WOW, as I said. I love the parallel people with their different personas. Which, haha, is a lot of crap words to say that I LOVE THIS. Your poetry always blows my mind.

Wow, this is really good.. I don't even know what else to say.
