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?

The Steel Chains of Love by Rose Rideout

I have taken pride in writing this novel as so many people have the wrong impression on bikers because they dress in leather clothing which is to protect themselves in case of an accident. The majority of bikers are known Policemen, Firemen, Doctors,
