"Sweet loss,
you I acknowledge
with arms open."
I love. |

| I'm the same, I thought it reeked of drug abuse til I read the explanation. But to be honest, aren't we supposed to take from poems what we like? Personally I thought you captured the hell of drug abuse perfectly, at least to me you did! Excellent piece, gripping stuff. |

| After reading the explanation, it made more sense to me. Though, at first read I had hints of drug abuse. I think the rough rhythm serves the imagery well. |

oh, dear. Yes, that clears it up immensely.
I think what threw me, then, was the 'sweet loss', perhaps. I guess in terms of sweet loss meaning the loss of something sweet, then good health is pretty sweet, and it makes sense. But as soon as I saw 'sweet loss' it reminded me of something shakespeare would write for one of his heroines to speak through tears when her lover has gone off with the milkmaid
or something...

| I guess I had better clear up the mystery of what this is about. It's about the steroid treatment I'm on for a rare adrenal disorder called addisons disease. I wonder if it reads diferently with that knowledge? I thought the final stanza was a pretty big hint but I guess I'm looking at it from my own point of view. The first stanza refers to the coming to terms with the loss of my health (it's incurable so it's likely I will be on them for the rest of my life). |
