Dear Kaleb

I've been trying to figure out what it is I like so much about this poem. The voice is lovely and gentle, while talking about things that you suspect aren't quite so gentle and calm. There are some lovely images, and turns of phrase.

"And I can't get that bottle of wine open.

If I had your swiss knife
and arms
maybe I could."

I love the stanza that starts by talking about X&Y, I love the last lines. I wonder if it's maybe a little bit long, there's so much good stuff in it, maybe it would have more of an impact if it was more concentrated. Thanks for a great read though nancy, am going to go and read more of your stuff!
