生命的絕響

Yesterday, a 53-year-old wife and mother fatally shot herself soon after faxing a letter to her mortgage company saying that by the time they forclosed on her house that day, she would be dead.

When interested buyers arrived at the property in Taunton, about 35 miles south Boston, Mladeruma's body was still inside with a note told her husband, John, and 24-year-old son to "take the [life] insurance money and pay for the house."


一聲轟響
令死神驚恐
讓病魔也感黯然
她用自己的手
將年輕而健壯的生命之門
關上

陽光滲進她剛擦洗過的窗戶
不再炎熱
麵對蜂擁而至的風
她一語不發
蒼白的笑意
在熒光燈下
漸漸冰涼

她想
等夜幕來臨
再熄去那一盞燈火
她會指點她的愛的人去看
黑暗星空裏如花一般開放的
她一生的尊嚴
還有她用唯一的生命
換來的希望

I googled but didn't find Maderuma and Taunton. I wonder if you could provide a link or two for the incident.
