I always love the way you space your words. It came as a surprise in this poem, and so perfectly mimics the stream of consciousness. And then the simple, ´There is a poet / it’s not me though’ … I identify. Had to go and research Damocles. Always something to learn in your poems.
Thank you. I try to space as if I am speaking so am happy that it carries over into the writing. (Reminder to self to record this one also) Happy to hear there is always something to learn too 🙏
“. . . the authority of the broken . . .” Stoped me in my tracks . . .
Thanks Barbara. It is, I think, one of the best lines I have ever written.

Oh, yes - would love to hear this spoken.
It will happen….not sure when, but it will.
