weight felt in reverse. interesting description of levitation, mind bending even

I sit In the gray pixie capital 'In?' shifting into present tense?
dust, its gold long gobbled
by the sun. interesting personification of the sun, and color play; why is the dust gray if he's feeling himself for the first time? are we meant to think feeling himself is some kind of fall from grace?

My green garb lets go i like the continuation of color, but lets go of what?
as if I'm a memory
It's held too tight. capital 'It's?' what is 'it?' the garb let go, so that can't be it..I'm having some trouble digesting this stanza

I feel the breeze, the soil
the blood, and the pulse.
I feel my goblin is it necessary to repeat 'i feel?' what's the goblin? his mischeivious shadow? 
the mischief, and the moss. i like the sonics of this line

I feel the humidity, the summer,
and the naked heat. I feel my size another good ex of personification; what does size feel like?
the glissando, and my heart beat. not sure how music fits in here

I feel the rise and the rise and the rise
and the fall. this line might work better closer to glissando
I feel the hunger

and yank a carrot
from the earth,
wondering how anything could be
clean if it came from dirt. this last stanza is my favorite
I like the feel of this one, like a surrealist-nature praise poem. some good images. Much of the language is obscure though. I'm not sure what most of it's about until the final stanza, and looking back over the poem with the final stanza in mind, I'm still confused by what all this feeling is supposed to say about peter pan. what do you mean by feel? maybe try out some other words other than feel?
