Really enjoyed this...especially like the way we are drawn by the first three stanzas...stanzas that reflect and appear as a jagged mirror...the poem opening up like a sluice gate...carrying the reader to a final uncompromising crescendo......
A mesmerising poem, Silver...wonderfully fluent in form & intelligence, the image of stretch marks acted as a powerful - and at the same time beautiful - metaphor for artistic and emotional imperfection.

"a whisper of Angostura bitters...
a tornado of textures, flavours, fandango with my mind...
hues that burn and bleed and bind"
I'm salivating! Great stuff Silver.
