Great poem, yes, but a couple questions:
1) Am I the only one who wants to know a little more about the "we" in the last few lines?
2) How does the first line scan? My ear wants to make it start with two anapests (and therefore a foot short). Is it in fact iamb trochee iamb? Or is Placa accented on its second syllable (if so, wouldn't it call for an accento escrito [sp?]?), thus making the whole poem regularly iambic? (And if it is as regular as that, is that a problem?)
Questioningly yours, --Simon
