A beautiful idea and image encapsulated in the poem, but I felt that you obscured such a poignant scene with overly-fancy and unnecessary 'style' - why put the first syllable of 'insanity' in parentheses? What does that signify? And the double ampersands is just so scene, it detracts from the value of the piece. Some amazing language used; her skin rotting in the 'blistering sun' - and although 'blistering sun' is a cliche, it didn't matter here, because it fit - but the style was distracting and ruined the tragic ambience of the poem.

this is so sad and so deep and ** again. you're blowin me away.

WOW.That's all I can say.

Nice job! I loved this! Keep up the great poems.
