'The past sideways crawl' = This line is really poignant to me because it reminds me directly of Richey's line in Die in the Summertime: 'I have crawled so far sideways / I recognize dim traces of creation'. I wonder if they're both homaging a famous line of some poet or someone or just both shared a similar metaphorical image... Like peas in a pod, Nicky & Richey. :)
It always reminded me of "I should have been a pair of ragged claws / Scuttling across the floors of silent seas" from TS Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Crabs move sideways, and the desire to hibernate/retreat into a shell was strong in both Richey and Nicky
