A poem about suicide

The walker came out into my Area

When the Source was high in the Above

It placed a hard pedestal made of dead Brethren below my heaviest bough.

It climbed atop the pedestal and tied a length of fibre to me.

It then tied the length around its topmost end

And the pedestal fell away...

 

So the walker has hung for a time.

 

I sense it is dead.

 

Why, I wonder, with such a short life, would a walker seek to shorten it?
