NO EYELIDS
She flushed them pills down the toilet.
Not such a good idea, I told her straight.
Sleepless nights and terrible outbursts.

This jarring but brilliant
This jarring but brilliant work lingers in the heart and mind after the last unsparing line is read. Seething with reality in a way only great talent can convey, this portrait of the agony of mental illness is both awareness-raising and painful. But it's a pain we need if we are to evolve into a compassionate society.
Well done!
