I thought what's here worked best, because it opens it to multiple ways of reading it.<br /><br />Many thanks for your and Kathleen's comments.

So much depth and pain shaped into something almost tangible.<br />"Their pose needs no cut-line" --indeed. It is the Pieta in (alas) real life.<br /><br />I love what you do throughout with the hanging of line-ends: the pause there for one meaning, which then morphs into another as the grammar gets finished after the space below. Just one e.g.:<br /><br />To understand it<br />is to acknowledge it<br /><br />is beyond understanding…<br /><br />Thank you.Peggy Rosenthalhttp://www.poetryretreats.comnoreply@blogger.com
