Analysis of Edit
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Waking up to reality
Originality bruised
Words pressed
preserved the form juiced
Forlorn and lost
The motion taunted
A movement wasted
Opportunity lost then won
When the edit is done
Truth impossible
The mind in fragments falls
What moods have passed
Time will erase all
