Calligraphy! Revision 2 is absolutely AMAZING. All the elements now come together. It’s like the poem has to make its own sense to come fully alive. Sometimes with me a poem sits dormant in some unknown state until maybe years later (just had one of those tonight!) and suddenly I see what was wrong and it all comes together. Sometimes it’s only a single line, a few words, that make all the difference. So to have come up with those perfectly wild lines. Something about the unexpected, the wild card, the oddity, it’s essential for life in poems and everything else, I suppose. An oddity that somehow fits. In this case the lack of caps is huge. And the spacing. The ending. A toast to you!
