Why does the poem return to follow the path of life?

Why does pleasure inhabit the liminal space between lives?

Is the bay as far away from mortal life as you can get? Is there ever a fuller release? Why, or why not?

Some figures in the poem are bodies - across the bay - but 'you' seems to be in a state of constant slow motion as a 'presence' moving back and forth across the bay. If the presence of the 'you' is the subject, and the bodies who provide the sexual reawakening are objects in the poem, why this distintion?

The interpretation describes mourners, the Kaddish, and other mythologies. Why this association of the moral, religious life, with the mortal one, where the life of pleasure is the liminal and timeless one?
