Ah, Blossom, thanks so much for commenting! I saw in Whiteling's LJ that it's your birthday, too. Many happy returns of the day!
Yes, it's a wrenching poem, but so real. I love the way Jan seems able to "channel" Frodo, getting right inside him in a subtle but precise way, able to give us such vivid, affecting glimpses into his psyche, even his soul.
And, yes, no one looks more luscious in the midst of torment. No wonder he's inspired so much angsty fanfic, gen or highly-rated, in which he suffers everything and anything imaginable in (or out of) Middle-earth!
