Sometimes words fail us.... and our mind goes complete blank.... Feelings remains unexpressed....

Animals were hiding behind the rock...
Hard indeed. Word.
BTW, congrats on the NYT write-up! All the more impressive b/c newspapers, even the venerable ones, review poetry so infrequently. Awesome news!

And I'd like to add my congrats on the NYT review.
Congrats on the NYT review and all of the other accolades you've received of late. And to think... you almost threw it all away to become the manager for Woody Woodchuck at the local professional wrestling venue... or was it for TEX-ASSSSSSSS... I'm drugged this morning, so I'm not thinking clearly.
Your mind is on the Nightengale in the garden.
for real and for trues
