You are amazing.

So stunning! What's between inverted commas is always important

Per.fect.

Awesome :)

Interesting quote. As I read it, living between "two great inverted commas" is a about excitement and living life fully, filled with surprises and intensity.

I liked the reference too. This is a good quote, gives one the need to reread and ponder.

You wrote, "to go beyond those staggering metaphors
lying under my staid stained skin."

There's much here to think about. To me this is about making the desired life real, not living within some metaphor that has inhabited you. Love the words that fit together well, "staid stained skin."

Good job!!

Find, is final report of Quote. When the rare is done, "whits" are born.

Again opening this poem, I did not see what I had expected. "Perfection" would be right.
