This is a beautifully complex character piece which conveys the life of the subject in episodic fashion with surreal images yet a concise narrative style. The enjambment seems slightly random though and I'd like to see the beginning and end quotes have titles of their own. Perhaps "Prologue" and "Epilogue"?
