you are right: we read and write horror to deal with that which horrid in the world....

(I guess an interesting question would be: do the people who experience the *most* horror in their lives read/write horror, or are we dilettantes at The Monster's Ball? There's a thesis there, i think, in that question....)

Gosh, I'm thrilled you like the poem so much. I'm always a little conflicted about those odd rhythms, and I meant to write the piece from Roda's pov, but this seemed more powerful and....somehow, still resonant with her voice.

I do think I need a hug today, so thank you. And many hugs back!
