Someone once asked her what a 

"dark night" was like.

 She closed her eyes and thought of planes crashing and car accidents 

but instead said the beach,

Falling asleep under direct sun 

only to wind up drowning when you open your eyes, 

gargling salt water where once had been air, 

forgetting how to swim and knowing you could die right there.

That was her "dark night."
