Narrator is a smooth, quick criminal in these. Steph Spender and others say american poets intellectualize where they could symbolize. But I swim in those waters so I donot wish them to be different. Only like the JOArc one,. Nothing abstract, a bathetic real thought that the executioners had to pile high the wood to achieve the smallsize of effect they were after without suffering themselves. Just like the scene is conducted in the movies with bystanders joining the mutilation.
Which is to affirm us who say we travelled to visit with heroes in precipitous sites. And saaw zero heros. And but yet,. The thunder might echo off the river,. And if we have our way everyone will have a river.
Beautiful!
I wish I could write like this.
read lots of r.s. thomas..
Two absolute bangers.
glad you enjoyed them

These are ravishing. Please let me in my next life—it obviously won’t be in this one—compose such elegant, refined poetry. You are a master!
thank you as ever for taking the time to engage, peter. good poems need good readers
