Yes - I love this one for reasons already mentioned: its inventiveness, the imagery of moon and sea and snake, not to mention its use of one of my favourite songs!

And this: "Desire's catastrophe lies in such small / conjunctions ..." I love it when a poem can slip in such enormous truths without seeming wise.

And I love "sleeping trees" - great sound, and image. (But them I'm the one who loves the "weeping moon"! so pay no heed to me!)
