I feel like he tried to write a poem that pc women would approve of. It's too bleak for my taste, and egocentric in some way that bothers me. When I look at the sources that published his work, I imagine he writes, in large part, to please a leftist mindset. This irks me. His poem is political, written from the outside in. It's not bad, just not honest.
Last line implies that deathlessness, where there is no life, is maternal. I don't dig that idea at all. Yet another leftie notion that demeans women.
