Ditto to the previous comment. This is a sensuous, succinct piece. The line "words that barely/ fit in/ the throat" is indeed a keeper. Cheers. Have a blessed new year ahead.
I am going to link your Blog to mine (easier to get to for me and others can see it) - I have some interesting links on there (EYELIGHT) if you want to follow any of them up.

Hi Amanda, this is great. The sparse layout really adds to the power to the image.

Nicely done. Like others have said, my favorite bit is the "words that barely / fit in / the throat" part.
