RCL: The technical part is what I was worried about the most. However, the explanation is pretty simple actually--obviously not enough, shame on me. It's about those people who believe in following God's word 100% being added as jewels in his crown as reward for their faith. The stanza below that's so vague,
Fulfilled with promise, like a spool of thread
across a chop of icy barren floes
not one of them acknowledged they were dead
is supposed to say the faithful will have a tiny path to lead them through life and be so happy they won't even care they've died.
But oh well. If the format is right that's 50%.
Thanks for taking time to let me know how it hit you.
