I really liked all of the commentary especially andrea1975 and ctowner1. Additionally to the jivenugget post above, I would add the punctuation to the last line as follows: she blocked her eyes and drew the curtains, with knots I've got, yet to untie. To me this exposes a dichotomy and an unwillingness to move on. When you draw curtains you usually untie the sash. The sash is usually holding the curtains open. In this case, she draws the curtains and ties them closed. Looking at it from an imagery perspective with the two waking from sex as ctowner1 suggests, the physical room they are in is now dark and she has tied the curtains to keep anyone from seeing in. This could symbolize that he believes she is hiding the relationship from the world. Interestingly, he has not decided to untie the curtains and expose the relationship in the state he now finds it. This could be from embarrassment or he is cherishing the knots she has tied as it is the only thing that he has left of her or the relationship. Amazing piece of modern poetry. |
