The first time I watched this I tried to write a comment and everything felt unworthy for the first time in my life I honestly felt speechless… I wish I could say I had anything more to add other than how utterly amazing this man’s work is and just how powerful every poem, sentence, has meaning watching the way he works is genuinely chill inducing with every word and EVERY SYLLABLE you feel how much this means to him. Perfect… this is perfect I know not everyone is but I’m a big fan of good poetry and this? This may just be the greatest poetry I’ve ever heard. 🥹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🌹🌹🌹🌹
