Emma, I've read this three times. I'm not really sure about some of the lines, the ideas intended, but the overall 'feeling' is electric. There are superb images here like: 'a hug tripped over its shoelaces', with very innovative diction like 'the longing tasted like treacle'. I enjoyed it very much; and I'll get back to it again, just in case I'm a bit distracted right now.

The highlight of this poem (for me) is:
"treading water with her like that/with your feet off the ground like that/stops clocks"
That image is powerful breathes in life.
