I dont think this poem is about unrequited love. It is about middle aged
love, the pain of growing old. The poet is out of love with himself and his
life so far. It is similar to Picasso's drawings in old age of himself as a
baboon with a young girl.

I love this poem. A man stricken by an unttainable love, and is left
feeling empty like the absurd images he describes. He can't let go of his
feelings, because everytime she refuses him he loves her even more. The
last line of each stanza is repeated, but the final line has one slight
alteration. Both of the "i's" are lower case. I think saying that finally
he can't handle it anymore and is now so weakened he is no longer whole.

Implosion, explosion...fission, fusion...being, non-being, e.e. has it all.
What a collection of images!
