This is dizzying...

I'm gunna steady myself, and read this again.

And again.

Again...

Lots of poets use images like candy: just a little sweetness and fluff thrown in 'cause they're suddenly in the candy shop with extra money from mom. They try a little of this, a little of that, just 'cause they have a sweet tooth for words. Your images are so tightly knit together, so necessary and precise.

A little candy's fine, but this poem is a major food group!
