Local News: Woman Dies in Chimney
They broke up and she, either fed up or drunk or undone,           ached to get back inside. Officials surmise she climbed a ladder to his roof, removed           the chimney cap and entered feet first. Long story short, she died there. Stuck. Like a tragic Santa. Struggling           for days, the news explains. It was a smell that led to the discovery of her body. One neighbor           speaks directly into the microphone, asks how a person could disregard so much: the damper, the flue,           the smoke shelf. He can’t imagine what it was she faced. The empty garage. The locked back door. And is that           a light on in the den? They show us the grass where they found her purse. And it’s not impossible to picture           her standing on the patio — abandoned — the mind turning obscene, all hopes pinned on refastening the snap.           Then spotting the bricks rising above the roof and at first believing and then knowing, sun flashing its           god-blinding light behind it, that the chimney was the way.

Unbreakable heart
Behind your back people are talking Using words that cut you down to size You want to fight back It's building inside you Holding you up Taking you hostage It's worth fighting for They'll try to take your pride Try to take your soul They'll try to take all the control They'll look you in the eyes Fill you full of lies Believe me they're gonna try So when you're feeling crazy And things fall apart Listen to your head Remember who you are You're the one You're the unbreakable heart

"Я буду помнить"
Я буду помнить о тебе , Когда минутой будет гнусно И одиноко грянет в след Дождь смыв порою мои чувства Я буду помнить о тебе , Когда нагрянет новый вечер И ветер заберёт себе Мои увечены надежды . Я буду помнить, тот момент, Когда тебя со мной не стало Оставив только мокрый цент С того ,что в сердце потеряла Я буду помнить твой уход , Да может быть, тогда слезами Теперь совсем под тихий сон Обняв подушку крепко швами .
