Besides, wasn't what she said all about how she is overcoming the specific terror she identified?

Cally -- for the record, yours was the only one I recognized from the boards and knew who the author was, but it didn't matter one way or another -- it is a fine poem and was, IMO, easily the cream of this very fine crop. (And for my money, there is no real problem with the last line. There are "permissibly scannable" readings possible, if that matters to anyone, but it is a killer close anyway.)

Best,
