I feel the power of emotions and relate only too well to this level of Hell. This is right at the top of the poems I have read on this site. You take the de rigueur conversational language I keep seeing here and step it up, elevate it to a more transcendent level. I know, I know...nitty-gritty and all that....sometimes I think the people who crave and covet nitty-gritty are the ones who never really scrabbled for the last shreds of dignity and soul in their lives.
You have either lived through a personal hell or you are simply a brilliant writer, or both.
