    thanks maria and brandon :) she’s a good one- for a bit of history about it- it’s about a dialogue between a young woman and the grand mother Death- young woman being comforted by, like the bob dylan song says, Death saying, death is not the end but more than that old woman Death is soothing her by saying your pain will not by unseen- your pain is what you feel because the rest of the world can’t; almost like jesus taking on all of the worlds sin because he was the strongest and most pure, like frodo needing to bare the ring- like the tale of those sorts of characters, those with the most shiny hearts have to bare the most pain- because no other could stand it at least not without going mad and killing somebody. Death says, for now sleep, relax let the rest of the world turn without you- you are safe.

    On her back is written, do more to merely placate me…Remember This
