This is actually more of a 3,5.

This collection is hard to rate because some of the poems I really liked while some of them felt either too abstract or specific for me to connect with. There were also few poems that stood out to me personally. However, I do feel that the writing style is very special and made me fall in love with lines more than the poems themselves. The title poem 𝘚𝘩𝘒𝘳𝘬𝘴 π˜ͺ𝘯 𝘡𝘩𝘦 π˜™π˜ͺ𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 remains my favorite. The following quote is what made me look up this poem along with this book in the first place. I'm excited to see how π˜‰π˜³π˜ͺ𝘨𝘩𝘡 π˜‹π˜¦π˜’π˜₯ π˜›π˜©π˜ͺ𝘯𝘨𝘴 will resonate with me compared to this one.

Β« I cannot tell anymore when a door opens or closes,
I can only hear the frame saying, 𝘞𝘒𝘭𝘬 𝘡𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘨𝘩. »

Yes, this is how I experienced a lot of the poetry in this collection too. Thanks for your review, Melissa.
