    all about suicide

    i love this poem, i´m german and live in germany, so i dont understand this poem in the way an american/english do, but i see the threatend woman behind this symbols and imagerys, i understand the allusion to saint catherine (bare feet - i´ve read this in a biography), and also the greek necessity ( to get out of disgrace through killing yourself) ...
    what means the coiled child, the serpent, pitcher of milk, the garden, the bleeding odors... which part plays the moon? i dont know...
