The audacity of Bly's work is always a highpoint, but that poem exceeds all expectations. Every time I read it, another crack opens up in my view of the life/death dance.

Gee, Frederick, wasn't expecting such nice words. Thank you so much. You sell my work better than myself, I think you should be my agent. 😂

Holy shit! Lord have mercy! I have never seen that poem before, and it is mind-blowing!!! "I need a yellow dot here, by the mailbox." My whole soul is still reverberating. Thank you so much!

Right. This feels like a theme now: becoming more at peace with the indifference of nature, as well as its staggering beauty. Glad that rang true for you, MZ.
