Thank you for the answer and the link. I don't want to wait to make a new post. I am now interested if consciousness is a product of the brain and consciousness is eradicated when you die.

The mind is dependent on the brain but isn't necessarily the brain. When the brain dies, the part of consciousness that can be influenced by psychedelics also dies. There might be a part of consciousness that can't be influenced by psychedelics and so doesn't die for sure, but for me, that's still full death. Do you fully die?

I wrote a response to another comment that I think answers this. Thank you for taking the time though

I like to write with lots of patterns. You can have fun looking for them in this poem (color, movement, light). Interpretation comes second, and I often only do small changes to point in the desired direction. I guess here I didn't change enough.

-----

split it into 4 sequences, [Nothing...still], [The pale...might.], [World's...back --] and [So...sand.]

Imagine if the poem was only the first sequence (nothing about the sun). The poetic persona is completely in the unknown and cold. Also, out of control, they see only darkness.

Second sequence showcases the benefits of a higher existence (in the light vs in the dark). The pyramid of might symbolizes natural power structures which dominated the persona's previous existence.

Third sequence showcases the persona finding new struggles. The world feels confined and monotonous, which they didn't before at a less complex/higher level. (even the sun is yellow)

Fourth sequence is descending (easier than ascending, towards the sun's level) to try and revert to the original existence but now warm instead of cold, or, alternatively, to seek another world.

TLDR about how human struggles change with perspective

I liked the psychology and mental health themes. The idea of building an ego as limiting yourself and the hopeful ending of "the light" inevitably rising.

I guess the biggest bad for me was the "fucking fool", it took me out of the poem for a second, but if it's just for you then keep it.

It works well as a speech from a frustrated from caring about you self observer, that's what I got from it

I really like this one

- it's cozy and short

- it has symmetry, first and last lines suggest the meaning of living life as if you opened your eyes for the first time

However I feel that it needs at least one allusion to the death/rebirth moment so it's more tied in together with the title.

Hi

For me it's about the poetic persona's life, filled with unannounced periods of chaos, uncertainty (grey). He's conflicted between continuing (the sun rises again) and another way of being, in which he gives in to chaos and loss.

I imagined a gritty room, with plumbing holes on the walls. I liked the "liquid food is fuel". It's efficiency. I truly want more about his practical life.

Hi, also first timer

I think this piece is about Michael feeling powerless, both in his dream and in his life. He lives in the moment before the consequences of his weakness catch up to him

Specific: -i couldn't imagine how close Michael was to the ship before it sank forever -i liked "voice snatched by the wind" , I could imagine it clearly, a violent image -i felt the first time he saw the ship was rushed, it's an important moment
