"too much meaning for one word" and "grief grips and binds / guts our genomes" and "no, but regardless of degrees, / pain allows me to relate" those are especially delicious lines to me. And overall the poem felt very focused to me -- also a delicious thing. Reminded me of parts of the "The Wasteland" including "my nerves are bad tonight." (Eliot is far and away my favorite poet.) Thanks for a top-shelf poetic experience!
