   Ian,

   Part of my education was in physics and my logical thinking says that the second line should be:

   static — the build-up unseen

   Hmm, it could be that way, but I feel like that breaks the line up a little more as far as how it flows. The way I wrote it, each line stands reasonably on its own, but they each flow at more-or-less the same rate. Your version works well alone but I’m not sure about within the poem. I don’t think I’ve slept enough lately to comprehend the subtleties at the moment.
