It would require several pages of writing to unpack this poem. There is much going on in these lines. The language gives much to talk about. I will simply say that the poetic imagination is much at work here.

By the way, I invite you to read my poetry. If you like some; please, subscribe.

This is deeply powerful and meaningful poetry. Well done. And I learned a new word, selfsame.

Thanks Mike! Sometimes it takes me a few goes at the same subject to nail it, this could be take 1.
