Hello Carl,

I have not immersed myself in the Ghazal form, but I sorta get what Cameron and co are pointing at. I want to come at these comments from another angle though. There is an interesting pattern of tension and release relative to if at the end of the lines Babylon is addressed directly or not. Perhaps if you approach the poem emotionally from this angle, then you might free yourself from the strict linear progression you have imposed on the form.

The Ghazal is for you if you are sufficiently interested! I myself have not even spent a whole hour of lifetime reading Ghazhals.

Yeah!
