see you, see me.

Posted on by Lucy

“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.

  5. This is deliciously dark and brooding, Lucy! Such rich use of language and I love the titles you chose to write this gem. 💝💝 Thank you so much for adding your voice to the prompt!

  6. 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”.
