abuseWow . . . this "he" is fascinating and despite my inevitable distraction when a poem is longer than say, ten lines, the "he" and the crone and the images--squatters tattooing slavery and the words--my friend, guardian, executioner (what a blow that is to the reader--how can those three roles exist in the same person--I love it!) carried me all the way through.

Some of it sounds a little trite or too . .. exaggerated?; notably the money "drifts downard in a crescendo of wailing loss."

However, this is excellent. Well done!
