A nice sentiment that culminates with

This desire to give concrete offerings
to water, color, armories of trees
is more than a trading desire

And to point out a bit of nicely executed imagery

As in dreams when ribs
open out like gates
innards rushed by light

All in all, a good read.

I especially love If there's no right commodity to give monkeys instead should I step small? Is being gone a gift? Thanks for the intense pleasure of reading your poem Your respect for the World and all therein is quite astounding. I especially love

If there’s no right commodity
to give monkeys
instead should I step small?
Is being gone a gift?

Thanks for the intense pleasure of reading your poem

Irreverence and awe so intense that grasping to matter for expression is the only human option for understanding. Very nice. There was a teetering point for me in this poem, on the line "to mirror back each grace" I was almost lost and abandoned the poem but once making it through the stanza I felt momentum through the end of the poem.

It sounds like something I'd write. I love how you have tapped into a visceral feeling of connection with sometime wild, in the context of being friends with them. It's like it's natural that we would feel such a connection. You captured that so neatly, so succiently. I will keep this poem to read again and again. Thank you for this gem.

Especially the last line. Sometimes Jane sleeps cuddled in my left arm, and I can feel her love in the air. Laurel, I really liked that. Especially the last line.
