Very perceptive poems, and I loved hearing you read, Tobey. Invisible feathers, and so many other memorable lines, as in "Familiar terrain, but unbreathe-able." (Btw, I like to drive fast, too, but have cut back. :)) Reflective recognition of those loved. Creating an other that lives alongside the self, and speculating on realities we discover.
