"Afterthoughts."
The layering comes from things being altered over time while remaining in some service, the same. Time does not so much pass, but rather condenses on the containers of experience.. .Time does not pass, it gathers and crystallizes on whatever is constructed to contain it. It is is this sense that poems are time-capsules. The poem is the result of observing/permitting what gathers on the lens of perception as it focusses simultaneously on the procession of experience.
