AI Interpretation
The speaker proposes taking vintaged gifts further and making a dream solid, joining stars and mountain belief with the sea and a threshold.
The speaker asks how gifts and a dream can take physical form. A handwritten revision before sea remains provisional; it no longer supports the old interpretation of an April reference. The source word cleam and uncertain letter forms leave the ending unsettled.
'A Rocky Moss': 'Let's take our vintaged gifts and go further:' and 'If it is possible to make a dream solid real:', ending 'and never lost, AgAiN'S sea - to make of a / threshold cleam:'.
The poem reaches toward making dreams solid; the handwritten AgAiN'S is a provisional reading, and vintaged, Hoodedness and cleam are kept as typed.
