This is very enigmatic but I like the different currents of regret and loss and possibility that pull against each other. The middle stanza of part III is too opaque for me - I think you might need to spell the 'things too close' a little more.

I'd usually agree with you about repeating one word ina line, but on this occasion I thought - 'damn it, the time has come'. I like the rhythm it gives really. Glad you like it Mrs G.

I don't see why the person who gave this a nought wa a hypocrite, if they really didn't like it. However, I like it, especially the ending when the ambivalence of Christianity becomes clear.

This is the best thing yet I've read of yours. It's bleeding funny. It's laconic. Lovely.

Purple the colour of mourning? Intriguing. For some reason I get a mental image of an Arabian city.

Given your subject it's fitting that this is a fragment - comes over like one's of Sappho's fragments. Very good and clear and real

I wish it was a holiday over here. And hot. Unfortunately I'm at work and it's been raining for most of the day. O wonderful England... This guy must have been quite something...

I think they may have held in orbit for a while, but they never collided, no. No wonder he's so sad 'cos i think she was a beauty.

I remember 'November's Fugitive', that one about escape and landscape ( as I recall). Obviously a major thing. If this is anything to go by, the highs were very very good. Good luck to you.

I'm gaining a picture of the man I think. I hope it's OK now. Well, m'dear, I have to go. Talk tomorrow.
