What a magnificent meld of poetry and prose to create such strong emotions and atmosphere. This is indeed a fine piece of writing, Dallas. I was particularly struck by the phrase: "euphoric anaesthetic", which brought forth a smile of delight!

With just a few lines, the poet has brought out the sadness and the despair caused by the death of a loved one. We are all familiar with the habits one employs to get over the sadness like sniffing a bottle of the dearly departed's perfume or simply rocking on a wooden swing. They have no meaning but they are simply a means to get over a difficult time such as the brush with death. All in all, slightly gothic and beautifully morbid.
