Tim, thanks for posting Dick Davis' "Comfort." It speaks to me more than "Into Care"; for me the center of the entire poem is L2, which I love: "A bit of consciousness alone at night." Don't you wish more poets wrote about the mystery of consciousness?
Dick's "oblivious embrace" is a fine and fitting way to end that one. Moreover, he's just provoked me to write a short piece about the mystery of consciousness as well! Something I've always wanted to do. Many thanks to both of you.
