You're right. The poem is full of longing, passion and rejection, but I wanted to show two other things in the poem when I read it at the wake. 1) the passionate heart symbolized by the blood red nails
2) the way Karen was multi-talented in both painting and words and the way she turned the tears into art. Yes, she tore the page into pieces -- but the poem, another page, survived. Thank you for your thoughts and memories and comments about Ralph.
