Admittedly this poem is very difficult to interpret. But I found the story to be enthralling and "action packed". But I think the title is very important here because it tells me what the story is about. The mind or your mind actually. The metaphor was outstanding and its not really a read it and find the meaning kind of poem. There is so much hidden stuff here.

Racing thoughts are like death for someone who is anxious. They become louder and louder. So I liked the thunder line. Great compare. Death is definitely not ambiguous. And I think you know or this person knows that feeling well. The feeling I get from this poem is nervousness and being scared. The sweat and tear line tells me that. But the tear is interesting. Its like a regret but it's too late to fix. This person seems to be falling more and more. This could almost read like a nightmare as well a very vivid one at that. And what tells me that is the ending. I loved the haiku or senryu you used. A rose or flower always blooms after a storm. Fighting for their life like a person who battles sadness. This is an excellent write! Well done.

Haha I think if my memory doesn't fail me, that this one was the one I let my imagination fly and in turn I came up with a comment with some story. Somewhere in a cold weather, some one freezing... And the claret,, the wine bringing him back to life....

Anywho, nice piece

Now that (edit: now that I know what it is about) and that I read it again, my imagination used to be wild. I now see someone looking at the mirror. It's not the same thrill that I felt back them. :'(
