I love this poem and everything about it. The flow of lines and words is flawless, the wording is lovely, and the overall mood of the poem is wonderful. The way that the poet describes the woman is almost magical, as if I could picture her with a foggy cloud of glitter dust following her down the staircase.
The first verse is the most romantic to me. I love the way it sets the stage for the poem "toe upon toe, a snowing flesh." Such a beautiful line. I found myself imagining the woman walking down the stairs with such grace. I imagine her as SO perfect that her facial features are blurred by a bright ray of soft sunlight, creeping through fogged glass windows- as if concealing her perfect face from my imperfect eyes (like a goddess of sorts).
The length of this poem was just right. and more or any less would have given the poem a totally different feel. With this length, I felt as it had only occurred in a moment, but that single moment seemed to be in slow motion- lasting for what seamed like forever.
There is definitely imagination, imagery, and insight in this poem. There is just so much right about this poem. One of my favorites.
As a side note, what I find funny is that walking down a staircase in the nude doesn't sound at all attractive- to say the least.
