(some thoughts on) The Fertility of Turtles

Thanks Liz -- I thought it was messy, but that's entirely in character. I failed to appreciate much of what went on in this piece until I scrutinized and spewed my thoughts. I know poeple who feel that deconstruction 'spoils' a piece of poetry; when I revisited this piece a few weeks later, I still loved the poetry, and still appreciated how much I'd got out of it.
