Oh Jai, oh God, I never suspected. I must be blind. It must have taken immense courage to write that last post. I'm so sorry that you too bear the scars of initiation into this pain-wracked tribe. But at the same time, I'm so glad we found each other on this site. My poems are, on one level, a way of bleeding without cutting. I think that's one reason I keep turning them out so frequently right now; the three lines running along veins in my left wrist and forearm are still fresh and red and angry-looking. I wrap an ace bandage around them to conceal them every morning before work. But you've no need to conceal your wounds, physical and emotional, from me. We both survived the physical cuts, but the emotional ones never seem to close up entirely, do they? Just walk this road with me. We can hold each other up when the path gets too steep. Atticus
