By 'long' I mean that if published in print in the versions accessible through the hyperlinks below, they would be ten to forty pages long.    In other orders --  last year's or tomorrow's -- print  versions could range from four to one hundred thirty pages.

By 'five' I mean as ordered in the arrangements reached through these hyperlinks to named poems.     In other orders, KE might comprise from three to a dozen poems.

Today they are 'about' -- roughly -- death, god, generations, journey,  passion (found at hyperlinks below in that order).    Other frames and internal conjunctions yield different accounts.  To the degree that each KE unit offers 'news', and each frame brings together pieces of 'news' into an account, all the resulting narratives may be considered valid.
