suspending vivid death........... isn't that like bungie jumping? The thing I like about poetry framed like this is the reader can group his own words together to construct the association or pace of the piece. You've given the reader many choices and all yield an interesting frame to consider. Good job.

yaaargh this is utterly delicious. the playful teasing way the words trickle down the page.. the sensual thought-provoking content.. this is utterly brill!
