"Just to hear the sound the floor makes when it sleeps." I love this line. I really do. It's so angsty and raw.

"But that’s not me stuck inside
those parentheses. That is just a girl
I left behind, shoved between coats
in the bedroom closet."

This is literally one of the best stanzas I've ever read in my life. I'm absolutely blown away. WOW.

"Dead roses now." This line is very beautiful and impactful. :)

"Look back, behind me, there is no light or sun." Wow. This line is quite heart-breaking. I like the idea that the speaker can find no happiness in his/her past.

"shake me in a windmill" It's such a great opening line. It's so /odd/ and it gives a good tone as the beginning of the piece. :) Very interesting.

"blooming over into my singing lungs" I particularly like "singing lungs" in the first stanza. The imagery is pretty. Vivid.

"from the bins of organs you sifted through in order to find where I was" I like the idea of the speaker being... in the center of her body? Lost in herself, or something along those lines? It's clever; like she keeps to herself or she's shy. The description is really creative.

"i can feel the roses. the grass is crowding out my insides" Up until this point, I thought the poem was too introverted, and that there was very few things mentioned about the 'new house'. But I like how outside things are internalized here. "the grass is crowding out my insides" I really love that. I think the tone here works perfectly; she sounds... claustrophic, even.

"so she can watch her wrists turn purple and blue and sunset colors." Good imagery! The colors are well described.
