I would capitalize the p in possibility.



IV

this is the 'moment' in the poem i think, and the strongest of the lot. The emotion peaks here and the examination that follows seems a bit of a let down to me. I think the last stanza is also very good, and I'm mixed on whether the titular inversion work or not there.

'this day' doesn't really work for me, why not 'today?'

non-being should be hyphenated i think.


VI
We all begin here, in these details.
Mild truths prefer dim shadows
where daydreams are the blisters our
tongues become fraught with.

I'm not generally a fan of ending on an elipses, but this didnt' bother me. L2-5 are a bit hard to follow, but I think reasonably clear.

I definitely like what you're doing here.
