First Sentence: The koi thread underwater paths, steer/ themselves beneath one, then another, of the fountains—// domesticated within the confines of the concrete pond.
Last Sentence: Ghost, there is no need now/ for you to scuff and pace and ache// these loose-board floors, no need/ to spook the watch hands backwards, // because now you are the least/ of what, daily, haunts me.
Comment: The emotional load that haunts starts in childhood but expands as the observer—the poet—matures into a natural world suffering from the human quest to survive and flourish. This is a book embracing the whole experience of living.
