Passed to hand, behind the curtain The letter
brings change, now things are uncertain Hand to
hand, the letter moves on Like a series of shocks,

the letter arrives You suddenly find things
getting lifesize Once the air rang with things
unsaid Now cruel outlines are easily read Behind
the curtain in the yellow bulb light The letter
reads I took my own life
