Hi Michael,
I liked this from my first reading. Then, still liking it, I read James's comment that the questions seemed piled on. At that point I thought this might be even better if no questions were asked by the N and only the reader were allowed to infer the natural ones the circumstances and images bring to mind. In other words, the N's questions are too telly maybe. Anyway, like I said, I liked the poem as is immediately.
All the best,
Jim
