Almost like a lullaby, sung by someone already dreaming...its beautiful, but unsettling too - like all good poetry. What does it mean? I'm not sure! But its got under my skin, and is generating possibilities, which is a true gift. In fact, all these poems strike me as leaning more toward the mythic underrcurents of waking life, as opposed to the chatter of the secular ego, as if they exist to draw the poet out of the known and into the unknown of the soul...on a quest for what though? Reminds me of Medh McGuckian a bit too. Good stuff Rob! I really love the rhythm of this poem, its pacing.
