IT -
!!!Had not read today's OPP when I posted my 'love ' poem - one of happenstance's near misses I guess.

Good poem you've chosen. Have a bit of untoward about the distance the last stanza makes in terms of the first two; makes for a nearly etherous broadness between itself and the first two stanzas, and in my re-reading, sort of adds another varient of that distance that makes the whole poem cling to itself in a way that is sad, strangely so. Maby this couple are just one-night-standers. What is more overt and lonely than the wake that such an encounter leaves...

Best to you and yours.
