Jill.
I also think it is marvelous.
My favorite:
"O, the little dress
>shimmers in the near breeze as I?m falling down
>my body"

Ah, I like this very much, Jill, from the beginning to the end, so
that I want
to say
I like particularly this,
>Sometimes I could do with the humour of a petticoat.
>O, let me part the clouds, let me in.
but then add, particularly that, so the poem entire!--lovely.
Best,
Rebecca
