This is a nice piece. Strong in so many ways. I love the ending: "how to echo without sound,"
but does "how to break without form." mean breaking into formlessness or or braking while formless. Still could even mean breaking by the formlessness.

Lovely !

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad the poem resonated with you, especially the ending.

As for "how to break without form," I love the way you explored its possible meanings — all three interpretations you mentioned are incredibly insightful. When I wrote it, I was leaning toward the idea of a kind of silent unravelling — breaking down emotionally or spiritually in a way that leaves no visible trace, no defined shape. But I also believe poetry lives best in the reader’s experience, and your reflections bring out depths I hadn’t even consciously thought of. ??

Thanks again for taking the time to engage so deeply with the piece!
