Wow.
Jesus Cally, this makes me want to dance and pre-emptively apologise for ever daring to write any melancholy poems ever again haha. I hope you're as happy as this suggests. Amazing.
Thanks for posting Ed.
I mean there's such looseness and fun here, but then such controlled beauty. I love all the sneaky rhymes with 'hotel'. Sorry for gushing. This feels like a favourite song already.

Why, thank you, Agent!
Sharkey, you're so funny! Your sense of the poem is music to my ears!!! And I am happy, I'm happy even when I'm hurting. Just the way it is -- you wouldn't be dead for quids.
Elemental, my dear Cynders!!
Making merry, Memsy!!
Susan, I really appreciate your comment. Melody is what I hear.
Nausheen, I totally agree. I love The Common. I have another poem appearing in The Common in an upcoming print issue -- hopefully, Fall, possibly, Spring.
I'm so glad you all enjoyed a spell at the Meringo Hotel.

New provender in the jungle of journals is now so easy of access and so inexhaustible in scope, the wonder is that I should ever take of the same tree twice; nine times of ten, I expatiate their tracts for fare yet to be sampled. It seldom happens that one, in particular, requires our indefinite rediscovery; as bones dogs bury are thought best stashed as far rarer than the rest. Such one is uncommon for me in The Common, or anywhere. Your poem makes two now, ‘the clock is a length of shadow on a wet rock’ duly lodged in my head. The other seems ancient by now, 2014.
