Interpretations

[RiverNotch]

I pretended not to look
as she carved her back eros 
into a statue, and cracked it. more eros. this feels like a euphemism, but it isn't.

the thought here i don't interpret as anything oneiric -- perhaps because i'm less than neutral when considering what statues are, especially woman statues (or women turning into statues -- or statues turning into women. part Venus de Milo, part Galatea, I suppose). instead i see a literal her that the speaker tries to avoid turning into an ideal -- then somehow she breaks the ideal, or he mixes the metaphor -- without any comparison to any actual statues. 

We were the only ones
in the library, and I was reading it's here that i get the dreamy vibes, for two reasons. one, i've never been in a library cosmopolitan enough where people would actually focus on sensual stuff like this (i find that students in university libraries are, when alone, there solely to study; there are far better places to focus on the desired sex, such as the classroom); and two, that's excluding the two times i vividly dreamed of libraries, the first involving a certain perfect-at-conversation red-haired woman, the second involving a videogamesque exploration of the place.
her vertebrae like a poem i disconnect "vertebrae" from statuary because i don't think any of the woman statues i here used as a referent are so soft to reveal their subjects' vertebrae -- or bold, but then again i don't think the speaker would be in such a romantic mood if he were comparing "her" to, say, one of those statues commemorating the Irish Potato Famine. then again, he could....there is much more to the symbols than what I'm taking for granted, and i suppose that is a good thing. but if the intent was romantic, then yes, it is possible this disconnect from sculpture is a workable thing.
I couldn’t understand. but this one, i could understand, at least at an emotional level. lovely work -- forgive for the late reply, i couldn't think of anything to say, at first.
