dear, dear a.s. the air was thick moisture-laden cornsilk the dead of night having come alive seething like snakes jaundiced fingers strangling life. . a soul unraveled attempting to erase from hearts and minds your words live as you intended making this yet again a failed suicide attempt. I say Live, LIve because of the sun, the dream, the excitable gift" ... from Sexton's ending poem for her book Live or Die. A.S: Surely the words will continue, for that's what's left that's true .

Very well done on a sad subject matter, suicide is very hard to comprehend and even harder if successful to find closure. ~Z~
