Good poem, you SlyMan--

But can't I have the moon and stars without strangling the baby, as in:

'Was that camphor from a dress
that made me so digress?'

But what's with the swallow link?

: 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.
