I read this poem over dark French ambient music. Somewhere between the words and the shadows, I found another entrance to the dark heaven of desire.
this reminds me of a beautiful woman entangled in an affair with a man of high stature and they go out to dinner and everyone is hard core staring because they know she’s the other woman and she feels a little ashamed but also wanted and dangerous it’s such a delight for me to find the story I perceive in your writing knowing others who read it may glean something else entirely and you probably wrote it with something else in mind
