there's a lot of symbolism here and it makes me feel things purely through the imagery, mostly a sense of coarse, (pleasantly)unpleasant nostalgia though I have to admit if there's a specific line the poem's chasing it's lost on me
the line "the long boat still
west sails
sails west"
is like an answer to this snippet from one of my poems
