Cheer up, every cloud has a silver lining.

This describes much of our dilemma. Nothing's ever very simple. That's why your poem speaks volumes... it is an "exquisite" balance, isn't it.

The notion of supreme effort to survive in a hellish condition is scalpel drawn here, Moya. Sheer exquisite poem of pain and heroic perseverance. Well done!

I think that's the situation more often than any of us like to admit.

Nice.

This reminded me a bit of William Blake's SONGS OF EXPERIENCE, Moya, the harshness of life and all that. Your laconic style is impeccable.
