Revision posted. I’m not good at workshopping poems. On top of that I'm a slow learner. It’s not the poems per se that give me difficulty. The difficulty I have is in shaping (revising) them to be finished, or at least better than when they arrived — that's what continues to harry me. I deeply appreciate the patience given to this. In a way, my experience workshopping poems here mirrors the poem's conceit.
It is a great relief to have finally reclaimed the heart of this poem. I apologize for my stumbling and bumbling with the edits. For lack of a better alibi, my stumbling was the product of my poltergeist at play : )
