Hi Bryn,
Each strophe consists of one or more fragments in the form of subjects without predicates. The effect is that of a still life. As such, the structure and setting -- as opposed to character, plot, metaphor, or symbolism -- perform most of the heavy lifting necessary to convey meaning. Of course, a still life is a valid expression of a poet's impression of a scene. I only mention it to highlight the technique.
Thanks,
Strangerous
