Do so like the poem. Poems that aren't mysteries aren't very poetic iMHO.
In that regard, i think the postscript is a bit much, better to let the reader
stand the poem on its own.

My native language is Texas English. As an exercise to help myself learn
German, many years ago, i wrote poetry in German. My cousin, a native
German speaker, thought they were good; said they were filled with
marvelously unintended images and insights.

Ambiguity is one of the three legs of the poetic stool*. Without it,
a reader soon gets up (off the floor?) and finds another one.

P.S. That "intertextuality" link seems at odds with your reasons for
not commenting. I'd suggest "post-structuralism"
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-structuralism ).
Yes, i know, a bit old-fashioned, but hey, intertextuality has
aged much faster than it/that.
