OHTWL II
The fourth chapter in the suicide Quartet
I was lying on the floor.
The floor was laminate.
The room smelled
of hospital.
.
You reached for me.
I looked into your eyes,
As you spoke of broken things,
.
I still loved you.
.
As you whispered secrets
about your favorite,
your father, and the father
of your child,
.
I still loved you.
.
As you wrote those words,
the words on your arms,
chapters of philosophy
etched in magic script,
.
speaking in a secret tongue,
only we knew the key
to decipher,
.
I still loved you.
.
A hidden part of me
will always lie
on every floor
.
In every room
I ever walk into
.
looking for the love
that left us
that night.

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.
