White Rose Gasoline
do you understand this poem?
Mouth
by Ivy Travis
rose-red womb, deception's own mother,
pink petal doors open to reveal ivory
and writhing red (the brush!)
painter's pallet in solely in shadow hues.
wet loom, black sun,
both cradle and coffin to its children.
but when pressed to another
lies melt against lies
all colors combine to white, producing
purity! there it is, behind the sounds
how such two are one! and what a one!
how the origin of evil times two is
snow, is light, is dew
clearly, whitely
transforming from only child to Siamese twin: love.
twins split by drawing breath (gasoline of lies)
suck in, suck on
the difference makes
the heart grow weak or fond.
Do you understand what the poet is talking about in this piece?
Stanza 1: Birth, rather graphic description really.
Stanza 2: What sounds like a lonely childhood/early adulthood
Stanza 3-end: A relationship, rather overtly sexual.
I shan't give you the full breakdown, because I feel like this is an assignment, but if you look at it in these perspectives you should understand a bit better.
