    Really deep with lots of emotions inside the piece...so deep in fact it is impossible to comment properly...fantastic imagery (like always) Cant pick a fav part because all the stanzas rock.

    I thought about breaking this down, sometimes I like to think of myself as such a smartarse, that I can understand most poems on here. I normally have a go, even if it is off track it is usually a viable interpretation.
    However.......
    This piece has blown my brains out.
    So what do I do?

    ...........................

    I think what the hell, I am going to give it a go.

    stanza 1
    I wonder why you chose pluto, it is a small planet made up of mainly rock and ice....then we see the link with your blood freezing, if you were to freeze inside you would be dead, pluto is a dead planet, nothing could exist on there.
    Cleverly pluto is also considered king of the dead. (the god version that is not the planet)
    Has pluto taken over your soul?

    Stanza 2
    Maybe you were born to disrupt, the umbilical cord being cut with teeth makes me think of either neanderthal days or a post apocolyptic era. Is this poem hinting at a coming of a demon. She thought you were going to bring piece but this stanzas diction suggests otherwise.

    Stanza 3
    Again this makes me think of a minion of pluto or the dead, it also points to another attempt at destroying salvation. I like the aside it is very powerful.

    Stanza 4
    This is where the whole tone changes, many years seem to have passed, it seems you have been tamed by love. It suggests that love will conquer everything. However there still seems to be an underlying conflict.

    Stanza 5
    This ties in nicely with the first stanza, you hint back at constellations. Victim is an interesting word choice, the love is emphasized more in this stanza yet you leave us wondering with the final line.

    That is the best I can come up with but at least I had a go. So much wonderful imagery and as usual your poetry leaves us with many questions,
    great write as usual.

    Such a thought provoking piece Karla...I absolutely love poetry like this, which I dont read too often because you are about the only one who writes like this lol

    This makes one question so much....If there was some kind of twisted love in this story, why the last line? Why mention hate? This whole piece ties together and I feel like I'm torn between two opposing things here...

    I just loved this! Very clever...I admire your creativity always!

    I adore your poetry, Karla. It is hard to comment, analyse/interpret and each line that comes next is unexpected yet you always tie them together beautifully. I've always thought you write one of the best endings, but not so that I'd skip to it as every thing you write is always interesting and creative. Very inspiring.

    What Karla does well with this poem is the fantastic indulgence of imagery. There is so much going on that you have to read this 2 or 3 times to really stand any chance of understanding what she is saying. I think the potential double reference of pluto is very clever. There is real darkness throughout this piece, 'freezing blood' and the biting of the umbilical cord. What really stands out for me is the conflict throughout. Is it a love poem? Not sure when even in the final stanza hate rears its ugly head. Great Write Karla.
