As Kerry said above--so much in this compressed piece of carbon, sharp as a diamond drill, and full of an extravagant imagination that glows in the internal and repeated rhymes and assonance, from the heavy caustic pragmatism of the first lines to the final --literally-killer close. However long you spent, it was well worth every second, and the craftsmanship under the metaphor is what makes it all work like a dark charm. Really, for all its brevity, one of your best, imo. hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-23596204043563764242015-11-08T13:00:37.710-05:002015-11-08T13:00:37.710-05:00I love this wonderfully twisted dance between pers...I love this wonderfully twisted dance between perspective, point of view... and what might be expected.
