ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL masterpiece! You made my evening. So creative, clever, and intelligent from start to end. Favorite charm were th e words left to continue to the next line. This has hours and hours of work and careful structure. So much so in it’s framing, movement, and rhythm that I forgot it was free verse in genre. This required two reads to absorb it all. I am very satisfied.
