What a remarkable poem and I thoroughly enjoyed your insight and analysis. I love the spacing between lines, which made me want to read the poem aloud and I couldn't help but notice how it reminded me of eavesdropping (unintentionally so) on conversations, so natural in airports, where all our lives criss cross like telephone wires.
I'm glad to have your insights into this piece. An airport can feel like such a sterile environment and one where we should suppress our humanity. I love the weeping, hives, and blood that make their way into this space in the poem.

Thank you! Erin is such an incredible poet. I love her work.
