Poetry / Needs Title!!!!

She trembles at the sight,
She can’t tear her eyes from it,
Why is it so?
The world seems to spin . . .

The ground is rough and cold,
The hair at her nape stands to attention,
Why does her head bleed?
The world spins again . . .

Eyes unfocused,
Ears ringing,
Why?
Pain . . .

This is actually a morbid piece, but written in a way to cause the reader to wonder and continue reading. Why does the character “tremble at the sight”? At what is she looking? Why can she not look away? Why is the world spinning? I personally suspect suicide—”the ground is rough and cold” her head is bleeding,”the world spins again”, her “eyes (are ) unfocused, ears ringing.” She is in “pain.” I think the references to the world spinning are to vertigo she experiences while contemplating jumping from a great height, or perhaps to the experience of falling. Then, “the ground…”, head bleeding, “eyes unfocused, ears ringing…pain.” “the world spins again…” Perhaps a good title for this would be, simply, “Spin.” I am probably way off base, but these are my impressions.
