Frivolous "love" and double jeopardy
We didn't find her - she found us.
She sniffed us out.
She sat there
Slightly filthy with erotic mystery.
I saw the dreamer in her
Had fallen in love with me and she did not know it.
That moment the dreamer in me
Fell in love with her, and I soon knew it. Ted Hughes (1930-98)
This woman, Assia Wevil, killed herself (gas) in a suicide that made sure that her young daughter by Hughes died with her, declaring in a suicide note she simply couldn't leave little Shura behind, explaining: "She's too old to be adopted."
