Welcome back, Dom,
I still miss your non-rickroll guitar-accompanying "Never Gonna Give You Up"
on You Tube.
Like this universal-applying statement: "Destruction is safer to
contemplate than healing".
Also like the sound and feel of "ventriloquised by grief".
I, like David, am a non-Potterphile----far prefer Winifred Foley for
all-ages all-emotions......or Edith Nesbit for imaginative leaping.
Re _After Slumber xi_, I need a set-up in order to engage in despair, angst,
outrage, and power-to-the-people actions. "Set-up's" important and not the
least pedestrian to a fine writer/poet/speaker, as some would have it.
Readers do not automatically synch with a poet's feelings and philosophy,
though they're tempted by the felt energy.
