sometimes I think that a deluge of (really well-balanced)imagery creates a backing for the actual intent of the verse.
I think of a formative memory, and I feel that I often consciously recall the bits and pieces of the experience rather than its significance as a whole. Almost like we don't remember themes or greater messages, but can recall them by associating them with other tiny details that stick better
But then our interpretation of those details shift in meaning, or we glean different meanings from them as we change and our perception shifts. Like all these inanimate things and abstractions have a fluid soul of their own. From talking to people about shared experiences, people remember a lot of the same little details, though with different interpretations along a general theme
Where I'm going with this, is that in writing you can supplant many of these little sensory triggers in a verse, and with some emotional intelligence directly manipulate the connotation of your verse, give it a life beyond itself and the direct, dry implications of the words
Anyways, these "memorable" characteristics are very hard to reproduce in writing in an authentic way, and you're good at it. I admire the surreality of your descriptions at times
Keep writing
