Where has my July gone, long time passing?

Night by Eamon Grennan

Julie: It's been too long, so I'm starting off slowly. This poem is a little boxy and unwelcoming on the page, but had me hooked from "caul of stars." The only misstep is the terribly abstract "swallow their ambition" which throws me right out of the mood. Still, is this lovely or what?
