I honestly never wish to “explain” a poem. I deeply feel that once written it belongs to you, the reader. Of course, the poem rises from/is built from, stained by, is of – abuse, its shadow-memories, and its survival. How abuse may course through generations like a dirty river or lake. But it changes. It changes. And, there is the mountain.
