A rhyme about suicide in a “Ring around the Roses” fashion. Interesting.

The inflections help carry the flow of it, clarify the timing.

Not so much about suicide as a descent into thievery, as I see it. I really enjoy super short rhyming lines like these. Incorporation of words from another language adds a sense of ethnicity.

“pay charon
to ferry me”

A referrence to Greek mythology of the underworld and what happened to a person after death – Charon was the ferrymen that had to be paid to take souls across the river Styx (if I’m not mistaken).

I can see the possible analogy of “Descending into ‘something’ like a living hell, from which She must rescue (being the amber flame)”, and I get the possible thievery connection from the second stanza – but as a whole, it seems more about death than stealing to me.

Cool thing is, everybody can get something out of it. The impact may be different, but it impacts us, none the less.
