Analysis of Singular
Dave Seed 1967 (Columbus)
depression drops with the weight of dread
loathe and upset
heavy beat and joy for the dead
fallen and down
sorrow and loneliness occupy my head
black and wicked
unbearable heaviness not unlike lead
wrong and broken
unto nothing like bliss and wed
lost and unwanted
scary woman who is cloaked in red
run and hide
