it pulsed with real, red blood.

He said it was cute and asked for a sandwich.

Blowing through the door attached to a delicate arm and filled to the brim
with wildflowers dangling, it was only a mirror of her wants.

He thinks she is silly, but says nothing.

It will be years before the announcer steps in front of the playback
to explain every gory detail. Today hope is strong.
Okay Mark, I may be horribly off can I guess at the meaning?

Handbasket is a nod to the relationship going to hell in a...

What is swaddled is her heart that she wants to give to him.

He mistakes the basket for a picnic basket and asks for a sandwich. He wants a domestic partner.

She sees dreams and wild flowers.

The gory remnants of her heart will be seen much later when it all goes wrong.

Like I said I'm probably off, but that was my read.

Best,
