adalger: Earthrise as seen from the moon, captured on camera by the crew of Apollo 16 (Default)

If this piece reminds you of you, it's working. My vision of poetry is as a place for a reader to find hirself.

Personally, I haven't decided what I see in this. There's either a lonely man of questionable reliability as narrator staring at a mannequin through the display window of a closed department store, or an elderly widow inviting Death (as a personification) (or possibly a vampire) to come take her away now that the love upon whom she has built her life is gone so she can meet the end on her own terms.

And obviously, if I wrote it and can't quite be sure what it means, there's plenty of room for your own interpretation. :)
