Always enjoy reading your poems.. They would look great as word paintings..
so terse yet loaded, so germinal and pregnant for interpretations'
dance.. they remind me of those remote outpost signposts with arrows
pointing in a hundred different directions to distant centres of
civilisation
remote from the site of reading..

Its facing the wrong direction but open parenthetics always remind me of
this curious roman funerary epigraphy example..
If a slave was freed by a woman he would have to add this sort of reverse C
character to his/her name.. (see below)

- is that of a widower to his wife: a former slave, freed by a woman (in
line 2, the backwards C means "of some woman" and is traditionally read
Gaiae liberta; now if a man freed a slave, his name got mentioned, of
course.)
