John,
In the house of the hangman these little spinning assemblages are the perfect furnishings, like cobwebs in a haunted casa. One brushes one's head against something in the dark, what was it? Oh right, the extruded junk of dying cultures.
Thanks for keeping an eye out for the signs of further suffering from Gaza, where it seems the suffering will never end.
Thanks too for remembering Peter. I've posted a little memorial for him:

John,
Small further thought.
Would you care to exchange links?
Assuming yes, I'm going to descend into the boiler room of the temple and link you in right now...
(And in case it's no, just tell me and I'll remove.)

Tom, I'll add you as a link right now. It's a pleasure to be in contact. And yeah, it's Gaza, and it's the Louisiana coast, and it's ... well, it's everywhere ... "Attention must be paid!" as my dad used to say ... (I think he was quoting Death of a Salesman ...)
And thanks, Ed. There's no hiding from the world. Especially not in a poem.
