I picture her writing this while wishing for a lost love. She asks for him to take her and lead her beyond the rage of poetry...rage because it is her outlet...the only thing she has left of him. She's saying, let others have the poetry...the love of loss of love...
But for her, she wants his hand.

I see this as sharing of brotherhood/sisterhood. Follow me when you are lost, guide me when I am lost. Give me your pain and let me help you with the load. We used to do that in life. What happened? When did we close down and quit caring about others. It takes so little to give a hand and in the end you receive so much back just in that simple endeavor of offering. Beautiful work. Rita
