Simon, I agree - this is lovely.
I'm having trouble working out where the grief is coming from in S2 - did you dream of the death of the loved one, perhaps? That could do it. But, if that's it, I think you could be a little clearer about it. Maybe you think that would be pandering to the lazy reader, who ought to be able to do a bit of work him- or herself. But does that include finishing the poem for you? I wonder.
Anyway, the finished article is still very nicely made.
Cheers
David
