squeezed to put in place
didn’t fit without her face

This brakes my heart. Very touching piece.

Ah, I’ve been sorting out poems for ‘EDC Shorts’ a compilation of my lines and poetry – the tragic one’s you love I wrote a few years ago and I’m trying them out here to see if they work – it seems they do! Thank you, Victoria – I must catch up again with your blog soon! Eric.

Fascinating. I’m reading a new book by Laura Lippman called SUNBURN. The female main character in that book reminds me so much of the female in many of your poems.

Now I’m worried – there are two of them out there? I think I’ll risk a bit of ‘Sunburn’ – you’ve got me intrigued!
