‘the world melts to a room and bed’ sounds like time out.
‘the long ballet is over’ sounds like death.
A death bed perhaps? Hmm.
Had I been writing with all words at my disposal, I wouldn’t have chosen “melts,” but something like “contracts” or “shrinks.” Does that affect your interpretation?
I appreciate it when you comment, by the way. It means a lot to me. =)
Hmm. ‘the long ballet is over’ still sounds like death to me. It could be mourning for the death of the mother. Or childbirth. ‘the long ballet is over’ could be the foetus ceasing to kick when it is born. Your subsequent use of ‘contracts’ could be literal? I guess there’s a fine line between childbirth and death?
