I am still catching up with my commenting after my absence but when I read this I was surprised nobody had commented before on it.

So many good images here with multi-layered meanings that with each re-read you dive in deeper. Reminds me of the modernist style of writing, which seems to suit my meanindering mind just now.

Although not a major issue, I found the capital letters mid sentence a little offputting.

I liked this CJ for reasons it is hard to explain.
