Voice

A formal, epistolary earnestness that occasionally dips into familiar digital-mystic tropes.

Lyric intensity

Vivid child-lore: 'rusty hat,' 'feet turned backward,' and slippers as 'landing pads.'

Mind under feeling

Moves from fear to kinship, identifying the 'curse' as unwelcome perception.

Held shape

Strong completion; Child-fear of the moon becomes adult-desire to escape there.
