(Image Source: It Must Be Time For Lunch Now, 1979, by Francesca Woodman)
I hold the fork
Tight, am hungry
As I wait for lunch
Coming my way, stepping
On the dark cold marbled floor
Hearing footsteps, I hide
Behind the low veil
To catch you unaware
As I glide across your veins
The red juice satisfying my thirst
Flowing across my incensed lips
Cutlery in place, Time now right
This is going to be a big festive night
Your beats coming closer
The sweet scent waltzing with the wind
I am prepared, I am ready
And
Here you come
Here you come
HERE YOU C
O
M
E.

When I first saw the photograph, I thought, Wow ! It could be interpreted in so many ways... great photographer Woodman was at such a young age. Anyway, your interpretation looks convincing too, that of a person who needs to settle some scores, if I am not wrong.

DeleteWow, really dark, what a daunting task serving the meal must be. I like the sound of the beats and the scent in the wind and the crazy part about the festive night. Makes me think of Mary Reilly and Jekyll and Hyde.

DeleteHonstly, Mr. Green Speck, I am not sure how to interprete this piece, but I feel that it might be about survival at any cost ... like a preditor animal has to live too and does what he has to do in order to survive ... or like my family ... when I was young, we travelled a lot between Danmark and Greece since we where gypsies ... we bought, we took, we stole food in those times ... Greece is in so much financial trouble right now, but in Greece (Naphlion) the people fed me without ever questioning me and my heritage ... I was only 5 years old back then ... I will never forget their kindness. This might be toally beside the point of your poem ... sorry if it is ... Love, cat.
