Rated Once in the West: Poems 8/10

"Memories mercies<br>mostly aren't<br><br>but there were<br>I swear<br>days<br>veined with grace"<br><br>"I said Lord, Lord<br>in the speechless way of things<br>that bear years, and hard weather, and witness."<br><br>These poems have and an edge and a cynicism to them that Every Riven Thing didn't. That said, he has such command of every word and line and idea and it tends to sit with you. This isn't my favorite of his, and I wouldn't recommend it to someone reading poetry for the first time, as it can be dense at times, but it was moving and true and I will revisit it in time.
