A poem, like any work of art, is a message without words.
The poem has words, but the message does not. One cannot ‘interpret’ a poem. Only, respond to it.

The truest response, like the poem, like any work of art, will be a message without words,
A response may take the form of another poem, a dance, music, a critical study. All with messages, opening endlessly like nested Russian dolls. All without words.
