Oh is this poem about St Lucy/Lucia, whose festival is celebrated with candles, and whose main symbol is eyes? I have always wanted to take inspiration from the Scandinavians and celebrate St Lucy/Lucia's Day in Dec properly, with crowns of candles and rituals in the dark...In any case, thanks for writing the above, always keen to read more about Eliot and Cave and their connection to the lore of the ancient church
thank you so much!! the poem isn’t specifically about the saint, i just chose the name because it means light, and i like the name! but there is definitely some overlap with the ideas of light in the darkness. Also I got to watch a Saint Lucia procession on boats along the canal in Copenhagen with lights and choirs. it was very magical!
I loved the imagery in your poem such as “felt its scales as Satin”. It gave me Edgar Allan Poe vibes - it left me wanting more ♥️♥️
