Very dramatic, S.O. Remarkable opening and closing; in between, a very imaginative narrattive.
".....when she's shot/Him.." is very skillful enjambment and heightens the drama even moreso.
I must admit I'm confused as to why it's listed as an erotic poem.
I'm recommending it in PF&D.
I thought the context possibly erotic rather than the verse itself - the picture from a Russian friend that led to this verse was truly inspirational - I hope I have captured its effect here. I fear the end in the picture as not quite as I would have hoped in my revision of the tale - she looked so vulnerable - sad smile.
