I like everything about this. At first (because I have this stupid thing where I don't concentrate on the title of poems!) I kept reading it and thinking - what the heck is this all about.
This reminds me of the old Anglo-saxon riddle poems like -
The wave, over wave, a weird thing I saw
through-wrought, and wonderfully ornate;
a wonder on the wave - water became bone
(answer - Ice)
........I've read it over and over again, and each time I pick up more and more clues
Later, he smoked in the neighbor's garden,
coughing until midnight
as a ring of children watched.
......bonfire night?
