@autumn “I feel like black smeared eyeliner”
I read this line and thought, "Yes. I know how that feels. Shitty and kinda cozy at the same time."
This writer has some bangin' lines interspersed through themes of love, depression, sex, authenticity, and loneliness. I want more of them. A fellow writer once said, "Avoid cliche' and trite phrases at all costs." I feel like Autumn has it in her to punch people's guts out as she continues to hone her icy, clear voice.
See, lines like this draw me in instantly, like a swirling eddy of words, dragging me down, deep, unapologetic. Lines like this let the image do the talking.
So one sentence to sum up the way Autumn's work on Prose. hits me?
Velvet sledgehammer in the process of revealing itself, one inevitable slam at a time.
