@bobblack1@aliner@AmsterdamRev@brokensleep@GodzillaKent Thank you for these Bob. The book is one of a dozen unpublished full collections I have lying around the place. Been trying to publish them but it seems that (apart from this one) they're too punk rock for most publishers, so to speak. I'll try some of your suggestions [again :)]

@bobblack1@aliner@AmsterdamRev@brokensleep Yess a lot of very good stuff in there, glad you liked it. My poem is from a book I'm still looking to publish, inspired by a Navajo chant - think reading it with that in mind might shed new light on the piece etc...
