Again, it comes down to that ability to nail something so beautifully, so flawlessly and in so few words. What I like is that there's certain kind of knowing in this, whereas most writers would make it sound like they're afraid of something like what you describe here. There's a really well-expressed idea of strength in that. This doesn't read like someone who knows what's going on and doesn't know what to do next. This reads like someone who knows exactly what they're going to do next. I like that, and I really like this poem.

To put it another way, I read this and almost believe you do know how but just haven't decided to reveal that to us yet. I could be wrong. Even if I am, I still really like this.
