Hi bbc.

Yes, the sanctuary is created between the 3 triangulated places.

Which is fine if I'm looking to visit and need directions, but what does such specificity add to the poem?

I was introducing Philip Kenjockety, and yes I meant to use refugeed as a verb.

Apologies should have been S5. But either way, too much fluff. What does his being a panther hunter have to do with anything else in the poem? Which is more important, refugee status or his father's prowess? Or that it was Commodore Perry who renamed the creek? Or ...
It's too much Wikipedia entry, not enough poetry (like the first two verses).

Actually hard/impossible to mitigate a spring, but all of the wetlands surrounding the springs were mitigated. IE filled in, with the promise of creating an equal amount of wetlands elsewhere. I took liberty of extending mitigation to the spring that fed them. My guess is they piped the spring/source downstream under the well-healed subdivisions they built on top of it.

The how about 'silenced' in contrast to the 'noise' of the birds/cicadas?

When the N lifts the water it reminds him of affusion (baptism by pouring water on the forehead) Affusion suffices only when there is no available source of living water (a natural flowing body of water). Although technically Sqajaquada qualifies as living water, after decades of poisoning and altering its hydrology the N doesn't think it qualifies. Baptism offers forgiveness, but not for the uninitiated, something the N wouldn't know that it's not for the uninitiated.

They wouldn't know about 'initiation'' but they'd know 'affusion'?
Into what is N seeking 'admission/adoption' through baptism?

Where the creek ends and enters the river.

Isn't that a 'confluence' or a 'watersmeet'?


Hard for me to stay out of the weeds with this one. (See what I did there)

Fair enough, but editing is its own skill.


Best, Knot.
