Ghosts have no need for candles
cannot dictate how their birthdays are celebrated
if they are remembered at all.
It is we the left behind,
that make all of the rules,
poke at the pain and choose what we want to store in our heads.
We.

Your poem left a strong impression on me. The combination of emotion, imagery, and atmosphere makes it feel like something that could be experienced visually as well as through words.
ReplyDeleteAs a professional commissioned artist, I’d love to create custom continuation visuals throughout your poem, with each section receiving artwork inspired by its individual emotion while remaining part of one cohesive visual journey.
