Pulled at to read your ‘necessary losses’ again, also has the feel of one’s pulse for a heartbeat, the rhythm is such, as the words speak of life from right now to the eventual end. Its semi abstraction me forcibly read the fourth strophe, as ” eat yourself up” , the power of the piece being that compelling.
It really is an exceptional!

You probably know what I am about to tell you, my dear poet friend, Jean-Jacques: For you to have read my poem more than once is a generosity I will never take for granted, generosity of precious time but also of utmost valuable deliberation. My best wishes are with you, as always.

Thank you, dear One. Knowing your incredible poetic power, your loving of my poem means much to me. (As for the checklist, you will do one when/if you are so inclined, no? And not because you “need to do one”. Smiles . . .)

I love it… It has the feel of one size fits all, and the option of a reversible covering.
