    About this ebook

    A carpenter's wife gives birth to a still-born God at a relief camp. Pink Floyd begins to make more sense than a two decade long relationship with formal education. Her lover keeps coming back to her life almost like her bronchial infection. Pigeons get suicidal. Crows are paranoid. "so far and during" is a poet's response to the times when rare are mornings that are happy inside.
