It is always a wonder when one of the tribe lifts us all up in work like this. Amen.

The craft is so far above what one expects even from the old masters, that the beauty washes over one before, almost, you can draw a ragged breath. I especially like the economy of phrase--you have said just enough about everything, and not too much to tip over the heavy load the poem so gracefully carries. Brilliant is the only word I can find, Shay. Just brilliant. I hope the heartfelt praise here helps mitigate the feelings that birthed it.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-32697396806217110182018-06-07T20:18:43.028-04:002018-06-07T20:18:43.028-04:00"Rain falls...
