The poem has an overwhelming feeling of anger and disinterest. The short stanzas indicate a lack of emotional attachment to the subject however the words used show us a feeling of betrayal and ending "Slashed, stopped, final" also the inclusion of the flower carnation is especially strong as it relates to funerals as the traditional flower used. We assume that it is a marriage break up when we read about the ring, and a long marriage as well as the skin underneath is white. So the end tone is one of sadness. We feel alone at the end of the poem it's short nature and ending line"That was everything" so we than question the nature of the break up, was it his fault, or his wife's, or has something more unfortunate happened. "In his own and" would indicate that he may either be holding a note or he may have written it himself. To me it is ambiguous and am not really sure how the marriage ended, but it seems a shame |
