I love the explosive subtlety

I love the explosive subtlety of the words "very soft". No need for any more details. The reader knows. That trust in the reader's understanding and imagination, in my own reading experience and humble opinion, is what elevates good poetry to the realm of great poetry. 

 

And what a killer screen name! Adoring that.

 

Wonderful work. An image etched with delicate fire.
