Reading the poem a few times I become aware of a particular movement, a cadence which moves slowly until the end of the third stanza and then, as in a sonnet structure, there is a turn, deeper and more pressing - 'bending the hills, testing the trees,/rattling the house bones' to a change of axis and a new perspective.
