...I felt a tad mislead. I found no three step rewind, unless it was the three month silliness at the end. Liar, this is a time that I think less is most assuredly more.
Hit rewind. Hit play. Then edit.
And remind me again, who is Beda?
quite follow the story...but I could follow the emotion.
and that was powerful enough for me.
Thank you
If she had gone back three steps, then walked them again more carefully?
I love the story here. I think you may have given the reader a couple clues too many.
Waltzes are in 3/4 time-- the 3 step rewind refers to her desire to dance time in reverse. A closed-eye longing for simpler days, before her addiction to holler and hysteria blinds her to reason. I loved this poem, Liar.
i have the advantage of having read your thread before i read the poem / i am not sure if the poem would have hit me in the same manner / i made an error not reading it first / in any case, it is well-done / very sharp writing
Damn powerful. What would it be like to rewind to better parts - maybe fast forward over the bad ones or record something better altogether. Very deep, Liar. I enjoyed this one.
