The poem captures a deep emotional journey of longing and reflection, where the speaker contemplates love, forgiveness, and personal struggles. It evokes imagery of nature and everyday life, like the sight of a grasshopper and visits to the farmer's market, intertwining personal memories with a quest for understanding. The recurring theme of seeking love and the desire to connect with 'Scout' suggests a search for meaning and closure, ultimately weaving in the complexity of human emotions and the darker aspects of creativity.
"what I want is less clear to me now than it was then to be loved to the end without ruth or recrimination to forgive myself as others have forgiven me"
"sometimes I sit in a café pretending to read but knowing I want to be the one to find Scout instead"
