thief
into the deathmongering
don’t be a charmer
the moon eats your face
it’s a cut into the fire
an outgrown orchid
the young girl’s moon
Don’t look for me
I won’t look for you.

Flowers alone
were picture-sick; mirror-sanctions
showed my face, and I didn’t want to know it
anymore.

Lucy, I seriously feel like I need some exegesis on many of your poems, including this one. It’s fascinating – I know it’s beautiful, I can feel that it’s beautiful, but I am so often not quite sure what it’s about!

David, thank you so much and I can happily provide that explanation. ❤
I wrote this about feelings of depression and leaving people and the past behind. The final two lines were hard for me to write, but it really encompassed how I felt during that point in time when I wanted to be left alone.

So short and yet so crisp and lovely! I love the imagery; the feelings and lives packed into the exacting words and the little piece of love it steals out of me.

Thieves are so often charmers. I enjoy being befuddled by the narratives you present, Lucy. A feeling of something being so over, it needs a new word for over. ❤
