Talk about a poet who gives us a reframe of the world. I find lines 5,6, & 7 of particular power, if not liberation. Bill Grace

Being born and raisedin the hills of Eastern Tennessee, I think gives me more insight of your thoughts. Or it might just be me. A truely wonderful work. Joe

What a fantastic poem. The imagery is stunning! It is a very complex, dramatic piece. I especially savored the second to the last stanza.

I am grateful for this poem. I'd read it before, perhaps. But the gnarled hand - this time - was a greater benison. It was truly a gift, for me. The form, the content, the images - the flow of time. I truly needed this gift. Bless you. I'd never unravel the compexity, even if forced to do so by a Graduate Student, grading Term Papers. But - sigh - it would be a lovely thing to try. Thank you for posting this. I'll have sweeter dreams, I'm sure.

Fine, fine poem. The meter in the line 'The woodsmoke of the dusk is indigo' is perfection.

Surely, one of the best poems I've read. All I can say is praise for it.
