For me, you’ve painted a very vivid picture of one who almost relishes her dark existence in a sort of menacing way. I feel there’s a very fine line between darkness as depression and darkness as evil presented here. Because of the uncertainty planted in my mind, I see this as an exceptionally good poem. Kudos, and a cartwheel..

Trying to put words to my review of this fine work. I have to borrow from Lakota; “haunting”
Peace,

I’m not up on poet lingo but all your stuff is so controlled if that makes sense. The language, the tempo, the tone are always just right for whatever effect your going for in your poems. Maybe restraint. Or nuance. I keep resorting to musical terms but poems and tunes are first cousins are they not? How ’bout “he knows what he’s doing”?

I love how you created this world for Sarah, her beautiful world of
darkness, how she holds her dark world so very close. Your poem
will haunt me for a long time to come Oxy.

you show a great empathy for the feelings associated with depression. could this poem be somewhat self reflective?

Lovely description of someone who nutures pain…and wont / cant come into the light. Love the new look blog.Very elegant and classy…sort of like the new black, or a winter clothing collection, or a strong, hauntingly, macho fragrance………you can see i miss commenting.
