Excellent imagery sharpened by juxtapostion.

Vodka words in one of your other poems. I like that too.


There is an elide
a rabbit of sounds
a roundness of verbs
in writings of a woman
that I cannot seem to
evoke
no matter how hard I try
or how often.

Your poem explains some of the reasons I think.
