I liked it a lot, but I cheated and read the comments before reading the poem, and thus took care to parse it as I read. It works quite nicely when the mental punctuation is added. Why, I wonder, would you want to make the reader work at that? Not meant as a criticism, just curious as to intent. The imagery is quite vivid, the closer a real gem. jon
