This one is the best by far. I am currently reading through your poems - but this one ... so good. Into the "faves", as they are want to say here. Accurately close to real life away from the gothic, into the present. (Still, your shadow Jack, slithers underneath it all). We are all rubbing shoulders with reality, not just neighbours away, there are secrets within us all. Unread books.
