  1. What I like most about your poems are the ever-crossing polarities from soft to rugged, sentimental to calloused, sensitive to cruel, and this one demonstrates that great adventure across divides beautifully.

I stumbled when I read a few lines…e.g “The night is for star-crossed lovers…” using your pattern shouldn’t this not be for them as the night is for sleeping? I did really enjoy that as the poem progressed, the first line became less…symbolic and representative of falling asleep. This is a great idea and works really well.
