I have used this poem as a metaphor for separation, but it is an
unsentimental one. I think it suggests that with distance (or separation),
we may get more clarity, and might even begin to expand upon what we
experienced. The use of the word "decks" was confusing, but I figured out
that she probably meant something like embellishes (as in Deck the Halls
with Boughs of Holly).
