RE: Cameo of Us

I really like how you started this piece with the unconventional metaphors of cutting and the sickle of moons. It kind of set the tone for the rest of the poem.

Sort:  

It's the idea of her image being cut into me as if engraved with a chisel dipped in acid

BTW, the Moon reference goes back to our horoscope signs- we're both Cancers (not that I believe in horoscopes, but it's an allusion)
