Hi Jack - nice - haven't read a poem of yours for a while.
The last 3 lines of stanza 2 mystified me, though there's nothing wrong with mystery.
The 'I' of the writer is there in the first two, but not in the final stanza. 'I' has backed off, retreated from engagement, become generic - 'one' and I don't understand why.
