I like the line, "We'll tuck into the night," with its suggestion of deep connection between person and environment. <BR/><BR/>Of course, it could be a surreal midnight feast too (I don't think that's a problem, by the way)!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046788730174617923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-90235426706121041052007-08-08T09:35:00.000+01:002007-08-08T09:35:00.000+01:00Thanks both for your readings of this.

No problems for me in the last two lines, which seem to emphasise animals attuned to their environment against the discomfort of their human proprietors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-15001378724857196752007-08-08T00:40:00.000+01:002007-08-08T00:40:00.000+01:00I like this a lot save for the last two lines, the...I like this a lot save for the last two lines, they seem at odds with the rest, but maybe that was the idea?apprenticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784785172285984036noreply@blogger.com
