Hi Matt - love it. vivid and consistent, giving the poem a clear emotional architecture without ever feeling gimmicky. The “raining on the inside” and “desert within him” stanzas in particular do a great job of turning abstract feelings into physical sensations... seems like you always capture natural feelings with your beautiful words. - happy holidays, Andrea

These weird ideas about weather inside a person as you wake up every day came first. That was bouncing around. Then I had this mostly real dream here a couple days later. Serendipity, albeit gloomy.
