The death of a muse series was such a ride to immerse myself in. Neal I seriously always look forward to your work it's inspiring. Cannot wait to see what you create next.

"but i’d rather house the haunt

than evict what’s left behind."

I loved the way you weaved this words together. Beautiful poem.

Wow

I love the ambiguity over whether she's living or dead (bc of the ashes + grief part)

Thank you for such a beautiful piece

the ending was oddly beautiful for this poem and the series. i felt this was synonymous to how life really is

I am totally in love. I love a good poet's poem. Just break my heart already. It's the rhythm. 🫠

“because grief is just love with nowhere left to hide”. Wow that really spoke to me. The way your words come together to express this is truly beautiful.
