This is a very sensitive and strong poem, self-destructive but perhaps, in its own way, a healing.

I am intrigued by the ambiguity of the message. The words and effective feeling could apply to a woman in miscarriage, or a still birth. I realise you are a gentleman. Perhaps even a daughter or son committing suicide, or simply a child leaving home in young adulthood after bitter words. Or, lastly, a split between two adults who have been a couple.

Considering the title, the poem has many tentacles. Surely a fine thing.
