Analysis of End of Poetry.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The sweeter things I faced
The blinder I became
The softer the voice I heard
The weaker was my weaping
The tighter they embraced
The poorer my heart felt
The duller my veins pumped
The light more than strengthened
The faster the sands of time fell
The further I lept from the embodied
The wholer I became in spirit
The loss of words that I regreted.
