Although familiar with her work, I hadn’t read this peice by KH. Your careful explication was a nice addition. Thanks for sharing.

Rigoberto,
Thanks for the nudge about including this gem of a poem in your love-poem list. For our readers, here’s a link to it.

PS–it also occurs to me that “draft” is something of a pun, with the revision at the end from “moth” to “monarch.”

A lot of nice slant rhymes in that poem too–”moth” almost becomes “mouth” through a slight vowel shift. “Matress” slant rhymes with “glass” but also rearranges its sounds to become “mutters”. Thanks for sharing this. I’ll look out for Hahn’s work.
