At times in this poem I feel the person has reached the end of a troubled life.
Maybe at the beginning there was light, but through time it disappeared into darkness.

I loved the line (Perfect purity is emptiness.) This is a deep philosophical statement. A very nicely written piece

Yes, we all go through the motions now, politeness personified, the revolutionary in us all has been confiscated.

Truly existential this poem proclaims the search for self and identity where external anchors are eroded and all that is left is the internal. Nicely done.

One of most unpretentious howl in the vaccum- lament for the unfulfilled dreams, an existential dread about the where she is going. A definite and emphatic fave.
The most striking feature was the refusal of melodrama and steady restraint. I used to be a fan of Kafka, Conrad, Lawrence- somehow the poem reminded me of their restraints after nearly four decades. 🙏
