“The Three Voices” + “Melancholetta” + “My Fancy” =
I see you
I hoard your threaded-
mulling-overs; playing me into junction,
screaming, sighing
screaming, sighing
I singe my heart
her hologram dier
dusted as her lapel
posh, with a scarf
wrapped around her
the flowers have not yet died
she swallows me
whole

Written for the 3/08/22 dVerse prompt: Carroll Crush Saga. “The idea here is to select three titles (from a list of Lewis Carroll’s poems) and to blend them together to form a subject for a new poem.”
I mentioned the three titles in the beginning.

I feel so much obsession in your words… the singed heart is especially strong to me.

Thank you so much, Bjorn! Obsession was exactly what I had in mind, especially as it pertains to Killing Eve.

Haven’t read you for a while; nice to celebrate the macabre again. Clever to use the prompt words between the lines, letting the poem get to its destination solo. I liked “I hoard your threaded mulling-overs, p0laying me into junction”.
