Description Communicating with cracking
lungs, my tongue
is lacking; truncated, I fall
silent.

             Your verbs are acerbic, and nouns proud; I
am capitalised. Your gravity
drops me; I, a tone
lower than you, lie.

You whisper a sentence: an infinite
split.

Thank you. I was considering scrapping because at the time it was a deeply personal poem. Now it's not as important as it was then, so I think I'm keeping it. I appreciate the kind comment.

I love that. It's an honest description, I can tell.
Also, the ending just works.

This is pretty interesting. I love your diction. Not only is it unique, but the words have a nice harmony...a harmony that is contrasted and emphasized by some excellent enjambment and pauses.

Thank you, I appreciate the comment and the compliment. It's hard to write new things about words, so hearing "unique" is always good.
