& closer still

(Updated with final, sans pesky typos &c.)

I revised that raw-Google block I posted Monday (first 20 pp. for the string "on the brink of") to use as the back cover "description." I think it flows much better now when read aloud, so it is, I guess, another poem.

I *might* have a few copies by the time we do the reading at Stain next month. Maybe.
