> Grant, I love the parallel between the fading studio and the artist's changing skin. The imagery is haunting yet hopeful, and the ending beautifully transforms imperfection into renewal. Well written.
This poem carries a quiet sadness, but also a sense of acceptance that feels very human. The studio itself almost feels alive, like it has absorbed the history of every artist who passed through it. I especially appreciated how the ending turns closure into something hopeful, suggesting that endings can also become beginnings.
History can be a difficult thing to let go of, especially when it is no longer holding onto the present. That’s why it is important to remember as we move on.

Hope is always available on the other side of mourning.
The parallel between the studio fading and her skin changing was beautifully haunting.
It does feel like she has spent so much time there she is part of the spirit of that place, and now it is time to let it go.
A beautifully haunting piece , raw, reflective, and deeply human. The imagery and emotion linger long after reading
It is a mournful story of loss, but it leaves the future open to seize.

That’s very true.
There can be beauty in both, but there is always a behind the scenes.
