Feeling whole, such an essential feeling! Still, there is also the partial,fearful and fetishistic attachment, when the psyche can't handle the whole. It's all a game, really, with one thing replacing the other, a game of diversion, of hide-and-seek that has its fun side.
Great word choice, as always, Kate. The first two lines are clever and alluring and I love the bold imagery of the final lines.

Makes me think about how it's possible to never truly know someone, in and out. Love the mysterious feel to this poem, too.

There is a hint of a piece of pi in this poem... a progression of imagery edging toward the infinite, never a sequence repeated... infinite variety in the tenor of your metaphorical import... carried to the reader in a vehicle we'd all love to ride! Nicely imparted glimpse of the heart. When love stands for something so meaningful, it may never fall at all... long may your mattress wear, without every wearing out... and (I think this is an original phrase for you, Dear Kate) may your art be always worn on your sleeve, as long as your heart is not a frayed end... or no end... so long as all your endings are happy... or at least bittersweet...
Still reading after all these years!

| Never really quite getting to the bottom of her soul. Now to get to love her inside-out...well, that would be something. Oh, I know... There's this poem by AD's Chris Wright about loving -- "docking on her Saturn's rings" or something like that. Check it out. It's written with many a metonymic phrase as well. I like this for the double entendres at work, skillfully playing with the whole. --Charlie |

Kate, you have stirred up the den with this one. I do have to admit, I looked up the definition for both words (Inscrutable and metonymy) I wanted to refresh my memory, lol I love this poem, and of course you would be the one to write this one.
(Metonymy)
“Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears” he was speaking figuratively of the thing the ears contained — that is, their function, their ability to listen, not some literal component. |

| One can't help but exhaust your metaphoric journey and apply it to the joy of re-reading dogeared literature that has stood the test of not only time, but one's emotional investment, incurring losses as it does from time to time. Inspiring work that asks your fellow writers to dig below the surface and unearth that subtextual value you so expertly pen. |

Close but just out of reach. I liked that the metaphors abound.
Oh and I looked it up too, and still not sure about the meaning, lol.
