ReplyDeleteTwo thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThe first thought is the same as Dinah's (that was my initial reaction).
The second thought is that something about the third line of the third stanza isn't sitting well with me. I'm not sure what though. Maybe I need to come back to it later. (That said, the third stanza is my favorite.)
Ha – definitely did not think of the Beyonce allusion... this was just an exercise after taking a particularly affecting line from a recent spam email ("he did not care to dance anymore. Mrs. Carter, he observed to") and trying to build more on it. But now I see it's just the fragments left behind from a Sasha Fierce choreography session...
