I had to start here. I love the perspective of the jungle here. It feels more holy than sinful. Made me feel peaceful. I was seduced

I love that it made you feel that. It's supposed to be a little hypnotizing, for sure. Thanks for reading!!

Does the jungle want me, or do I want it? Do I consume the jungle, or does it consume me? All are true.

Listening first, then reading helped me with the rhythm you intended. Well done on both the flowing river of prose and the narration.

Thank you so much for saying that! This one was new for me and I've been going back and forth with whether or not I like it.

I love this manic, lustful pace.

Jungle takes no prisoners. Hell yeah

RM Greta's avatar

Lust can make us out of our minds!! Thank you!!

Really pulled into this from the start. Very immersive and seductive piece. Enjoyed the balance between the life giving force of nature and death.

RM Greta's avatar

Thank you! New territory for me in terms of style. I wanted it to feel like an incantation, something dark and feverish. Appreciate the read!

oh wow this is so thrilling and you've executed the jungle imagery perfectly. loved the voiceover as well- definitely added another great dimension to the piece!

RM Greta's avatar

Sofi! Thank you! Out of my comfort zone with this so I really appreciate your thoughts on it! (critique too, if you have any)

This work is a new favorite of mine. I’m obsessed with every line. It’s asking me so much, and it’s telling me even more. And your voice is perfect.

RM Greta's avatar

You have made my day. This means a lot coming from you. Thank you so much 😊 I was so unsure about it, but it felt right!

LaTonia Pearl Harris's avatar

I’m so glad you made my day, it inspired me for sure. πŸ₯°

The jungle is the god. This was so good.

RM Greta's avatar

Thanks so much! It was new for me but I'm happy with it.

The heart line is such an interesting motif both intimate and ominous. I'm willing to be consumed.

RM Greta's avatar

i had a good time learning a little palmistry for this. Glad it came through that way for you.

re: the consuming, just listen for the rush of water…

RM Greta's avatar

Ohh thank you!! I'm getting a kick out of reading/voiceovers/spoken word.

I love that there is no separation in this. It just is. Flowing as the river it speaks of. Love this!

RM Greta's avatar

Thank you 🀍

RM Greta's avatar

Who needs the Underworld to seduce them when the jungle’s right there?!? Loved this!
