I am studying this poem for my English coursework.
What i believe it to be about is a person (perhaps Duffy herself) reflecting on her first love and her break-up with them, and the heartbreak she goes through from being with that person, the break up, the getting over them, to the memories. She is happy to remember him but it causes her pain when she remembers the happy times they used to have. She tries to make him appear, or fall back in love with her, by repeating his name and doing thigns that they used to do.
An onion has many layers and Carol Ann Duffy uses this to relate to the idea of love. Initially, the reader is reminded of the protective outer layer, a moon wrapped in brown paper. If the moon becomes unwrapped, it will give light and Duffy goes on to say this is like the 'careful undressing of love'. This suggests that in the first stages of love, there will be kindness and carefulness with each other's feeling.
