hey, this is great! I mean, simply brilliant! I know this is 'serious crit' etc. and I should give some something or whatnot, but I can't fault it, structurally, conceptually, chucky'ly...
the one thing I am curious about is, am I right in thinking that 'straw zombies', apart from the obvious, is a a reference to 'straw dogs'? In which case although I am delighted of its mention, that particular film does jar with the overall concept of the poem for me. But my god, this is just a small detail, and to be honest, leaving it in makes me want to read and reread it more.
