Awesome stuff Rasmus! Ras! (Razumikin?) your poem pairs so well with the painting dude it's insane!

Thanks, Wil! You can call me whatever nickname you want! Razumikin sounds sick, haha!

I am glad you liked the poem/painting pairing. The process of finding a painting for these poems is one of my favorite parts of writing on Substack

Definitely! It's a central antagonist or catalysator in a certain sense!

Rasmus! That opening line is incredible!

Hope all is well over there!
