It pulled...I really really love your opening line. It pulled me right in.<br /><br />I also love the actions in this poem: the moving through introductions, curling fingers, walking on air. I especially loved that walking on air part... its instablity, its insecurity, but also its freedom.<br /><br />Beautiful.<br /><br />P.S. During my first read, I read the word "changed" on the fourth line as "charged." It gave the poem this unexpected oddness, and I definitely do not suggest changing it because part of the wonder of the poem was that experience of stumbling on a word. I wonder if anyone else did the same thing.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684528126514742135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148147478967571331.post-80506883349717246312006-12-21T12:16:00.000-05:002006-12-21T12:16:00.000-05:00Dennis, once again have a wonderful holiday
