Analysis of Sheldon

SWIFT 1985 (Bury)



This is what I don’t quite get.

It sounds like I could send you a poem and it would be fine no matter what I said.

Even though there is no difference between my poem and my poem.

So it must be received…
how..?

A ponder for me.

But no longer the knives,
or the clawing at dark
without death, died, or dead.

Wine?
Bread?
