Your voice a dove cooing in an Egyptian sarcophagus – a radio left playing for the dead. Not buried with me and my six best suits, no, not fly me to the underworld and pad my stone nest with your feathers and bones, a gold clown painted on my tomb. Grab ahold of what knots us together and fly – Spin me like a top as you always do, and I will dance, dance.

The first stanza and the title are my favorites. Oh, and “spin me like a top.” So precious.

I love the whole “Egyptian sarcophagus” theme you got going on and “and my six best suits, no” but love will pull you out of the underneath and spin you all around. Funny and lovely at the same time.

I like it Q. I do have a line that I relate to in a negative way, “pad my stone nest
with your feathers and bones, as feathers give me the creeps. Stinky and soiled.

I love the feeling this gives me and the words in it. It’s like flying in a dream. I’m not sure what it’s based on but I love the ride. Does that make sense?

This is just beautiful, solemn, intelligent and so not sickly sweet with the honey of love…every line is crafted to yield a maximum response in the reader’s psych. I especially love the title, the opening, and that last gorgeous stanza. Sorry to be so late to the party, but very glad I finally made it.

in your newest writings, there’s a, for a lack of a better term, a “new freedom” to your writing, and i really like it. love the energy of this, love the way you let it drift (like, there’s a plan, but the plan is to let it drift, i like the dichotomy of that ) it spins me like a top, so well done
