I really like the way I can revisit each verse before continuing on by interacting again. The placement and ordering contributes nicely as well.
I'm glad to hear that you have the energy to stand up in the shower too! Please be kind to yourself when you can, as you deserve it.
As has always been the case with your work, you demonstrate an astounding grasp of intimacy, visceral language, and a transcendent beauty that connects your audience to your work. Thanks for this.
