Nice slide rhyme and repetition…
Solid imagery in [pioneer’s compass]…
I had a new idea for implementation
of imagery…Do something like a Carlos Williams

In a unique and strange way…
Or do such a thing at multiple
sites in the poem…Perhaps with multiple separate
images…

This is an actual person. He runs a haunted house/fun house out on the edge of our community. I asked him if I could write something that was inspired by him. Wrote from a place of fear and loathing with equal parts hope and magic! That thing that draws you in even if you shouldn’t.

My God, your name is so appropriate after reading that piece… sorry, I’m kind of crass at times… but I just wanted to say this sounds more like an every minute thought, not just every day. What happened to that ‘business’ you were attending after coffee?xoxoxo

Sinister. The metaphors cut like a sharp ass knife. Nice work!
