Thank you for your comment Brian. It was meant to be powerful and was really very therapeutic in the writing.

"Do you perhaps

~ I take this to mean the slighting by one person of another and if that person who slights the other person understands how the slight can affect the person slighted. Am I correct?

"do you think
a poet
heart

beats any less

for your careless"

~ and if it makes a difference if the person who is slighted is poet.

"oversight

so slight

so slight

so slight"

~ Not an oversight, so slight...

"so, no"

~...but a slight. Yes?

A very interesting write; simple with not many words, but deep.

Anne,
Lovely breaths of words --
a simply complexity,
complexingly simple.
