Whole

...for Virginia Woolf Submerged 'neath the surface, stones weighting her body, gremlins and goblins are hobbling her soul. Images jar, and memories jostle, her compass is gone but she's in full control. Lungs overflowing, her faculties failing, she's one with the fishes, at last she is whole.

Blunt but still beautiful... Just like the fading memory of a loved one. Haunting, I really enjoyed this one. Annie x

I know very little of her except her name and that she committed suicide from depression, but it sounds like a horrible way to go. A VERY well crafted and strong little poem.
