Answer 1

A deterrent to moth's is moth balls obviously!

I did answer your poetry on the last post!  It was to me amazing piece of work, you write very well, with a mystery twist! I like that! It does take some decipher!

I will give you one more explanation of what I think the last 3 lines mean!

I think what is saying this person has to stay with his dementia in order to remain alive! If this person remains without dementia he will want to kill himself because he can't bare the thoughts in his mind! Please be kind enough to let me know if i am correct in the interpretation!  Thanks!!  Cheers!!

Answer 2

I thought first:  "Camphor balls"

But it might be 'daylight,' or 'scorching heat,' or 'polyester.'  I'd read it to check out my guesswork, anyway.
