This is a beautiful poem. I can feel the heartache of dashed hope and the rebellious feel of spilled pigment.

As a non-traditional student, I relate to the " mind and body always duel with each other." The always is a curious adverb. Perhaps it is amenable to change.

An occasional poem, in the sense of found objects collecting the data for nuance. A poet decides what will be evoked in the reader, so that the debris from the tide is not the whole story, and not even the plot.

Well done, Ollie.

My word for my take-away from this one: evocation.

Thank you.
