Aspen's Doing Something in the Wind

There's a real interesting slippage there between sort of disenchantment, dancing, and then the subject of the poem itself. The speaker of the poem has struggled to make language do certain things, and arrives at a kind of limit or recognition of limitation. And so if a speaker can't really describe what the aspins have been doing at the end, to say, aspinis doing something in the wind, there's a kind of tension, i think, of wanting to get it right in language.
