Language and love in a double helix -
life and order stalking on the epicycle.

'love may creep/ like a fiend'
What a picture!

I'd nearly forgotten how exciting to read
your work. Now you've made me hungry again.

: Modern Poetry

: when language
: wearing its formal dress,
: well-spoken
: at its station in high society,
: disobeys the laws of exposition,
: Love may creep
: like a fiend
: into the camphor-scented rooms
: of finely-crafted sentences,
: strangle the sleeping baby
: and fill its bag
: with moon and stars.
