The expanding of the moment in front of that great black lake that waits ... and the evoked sense of homecoming (with its undercurrent of a potential, deathly, double meaning?) is genuinely moving: it has that 'feels like it had to be written' quality all over it. There are a couple of turns of phrase in the penultimate stanza that I wonder about slightly, where the form is restricting just that little bit maybe, but this could just be my usual carping. Lovely poem.Nathan Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02635311554699432210noreply@blogger.com
