Damn you Kasper, I write something, get all smug with it, and then you
make me look at it properly. You're right, of course, but I just
couldn't give those lines away. They arrived after I was well inside the
poem, subconscious, and I could SEE it. Which doesn't mean they need to
be there though. The usual obstacle.

well hell, that was one fine experience of a poem.
excellent writing.
but the final bedclothes-image takes it a little too far for my liking,
it's too overt especially after the cool/relaxed/minimal symbolism of
the rest. first 2 (3?) stanzas are among the finest I can remember
reading for a long while.
