Just a note: aside from any stray typos that may have gone overlooked, things that might be looked upon as errors in my poetry are likely sacrifices in the name of style. I'm an almost involuntary writer, in the sense that much of it comes to me intuitively, and always with a feel, a set sort of look, before I ever consciously begin the editing process, and I feel that it is by far better to leave it that way.
