Many thanks, Grace. That you came back for another go is enough for me, and I appreciate it. Your interpretations work well and include some ideas I hadn't thought of -- which can only be a good thing 
Quix, don't worry, when I say "shelve" I never mean delete. Never throw any poem away -- something in it is always salvageable, reworkable, or a good starting point for a new poem. Thanks for your feedback.
