I like this James. At first I read it too quick and I lost the sense of the poem. But this is an excellent use of the form. I like the colloquialism of the second line – which is what threw me – and the brevity of the poem undermines the enorminity of the narrative. This is a brilliant use of the form and is truly a western approach. What I like so much is that the reader can see that thought has gone into this and it isn’t just something jotted down and arranged into syllables.
