Framing the three micro essays with your poetry was an inspired choice, Brian. Reading this piece after finishing Reena's was really moving. You've captured it and added your own elements here.

"Ghosts cover you" -- gorgeous, especially in context.

That wasn’t a choice inspired by me…It naturally happened in the pace of each of our writings, and I really like how it came together. But thank you for your very kind words Nathan!
