our class discussed this poem and came to the conclusion that she was talking about someone with alzeheimers and if you see the rhyme it goes slant, straight, slant, straight, just like the beginning stages of the disease you go in and out of it...maybe we're completely wrong or right on the dot..who knows???

this is an incredibly insightful poem. It seems to not only be about loss but about writing itself facinating.
