Analysis of Etched and Enclosed



ETCHED AND ENCLOSED................

Etched and enclosed_______
Forever for an evening.
Holding a heart—————
Breath of blueing
Breath of beforing
Breath of remembering

The closing of a heart
A memory of an evening

Moments, fragile, passing.
Moments, passing passing.

She closes the curtain to her heart...
