Yes, they can. Your meaning might not be the same as the writer's though, and that should be ok with any decent writer. We need to understand that nobody has the same experiences and set of cultural understandings that we do. However, that is no excuse for being deliberately obscure. Readers shouldn't be closed out of a text by a set of purely personal codes. Poems aren't riddles.

It could be worse
