Excellent poem, a diamond of the first water.

Is it a drama in real life or reel life? Whatever may be it but a Master Stroke…Vital-Hit to heat up anybody. Enjoyed poetically [not violence] much ten dr.sakti Cordially invite to read and comment on my poems.

The third stanza of this poem is apt for the study of MIND BODY BEHAVIOUR, the last frontier in the human serach to know self. Lilian you have surpassed the boundaries of the intelligible - coating fear with chewy intellect - and moved into the recesses of the human person which we can feel - I can feel it like an itch - but not know. I know we are to extract good from evil, no matter how heinous.and this work shows this magnificently - can we show evil magnificently; that is an oxymoron, but that's poetry. .

a brilliant write anjali

oh my Lilian, this is so unimaginable but through your words I felt it and it brought me to tears...but it's the last line that really tore me a apart because I know that feeling....

This poem is powerful and shocking. The terror; 'an urge to gag, I guard each breath/ And learn to defeat it with swallows' is all too tangible. The rawness and attempted rationale of this horrendous 'aftermath' is evident in every carefully chosen line. A poem that smacks of realism. This emotive, adeptly written piece will haunt the reader long after the final word. S: (
