I was a puddle when I had finished reading it. Beautiful, Angela. Pervert Savant’s analysis is right on – but I never had an opportunity to intellectualize about what made the poem work.

Like so oftentimes....Angela really knows how to pour out her emotions, thus also pulling some out of us in the process. I am in unending awe of her writing ability. Not to mention, she is just an awesome friend! Thanks for sharing another masterpiece, Angela. I have read and re-read this poem about 100 times now…not sure how to respond.

Savant Thu, 05 Oct 2006 00:53:35 +0000 http://www.zenfetish.com/2006/10/03/someday/#comment-2490 While superficially simple, this is on closer analysis a deceptively complex little poem. Ms. St. Lawrence has cleverly referenced a relationship in this work between herself and an unnamed person or persons (See line 3 and its reference to "we"). Who is this unknown "we". Is it you? Me? Or all of us? I'm sure many see this unknown person as themselves. I suspect its either all of us or none of us. I also like the little romp she takes us through. First there is anticipation. "Someday" she will come for us. Then there is a taste of something verboten -- we will be "fugitives". But our flight will lead us somewhere. We'll eventually achieve "freedom" and with it, finally, redemption -- as the shared sexuality she extols is to end in something cathartic and spiritual. (See lines 18-20). This is a very good poem. Simultaneously, it is personal yet impersonal, wantonly sexual, but also even a bit religious. There is a lot going on in it. I liked it a lot. And I'm not even trying to suck up.
