All Comments on 'Under Sappho's Bed'

A little playful eroticism ~ she'll never get out that room if you keep on hiding her shoe.

I was helped into a healthy reminder: physical passion is not the prerogative of males only. Da. Of course not. Not even the: ‘thank you it was great, now I am in much hurry to leave’ line. Why was the owner of the clutched purse so much in a hurry? (And then she stayed).

Before the judges of the poetic mores roast me, this is not a judgmental question. Quite the opposite. A dose of reality IMO.

We can be all ambivalent reg. intimacy. Rushing in, then rushing to get away and so on. With or without a missing shoe to hold us back.

Great use of Metonomy (the clothing and the accessories tell the story of the women who own them).
