I read it line by line, but not as a whole. I didn't get the overall gist. But reading each line, say the first with the second, the second with the first and the third, it was all real stimulating and thoughtful. Affective vaguely, but affective generally. And Thirst Undone, that second line makes me think of satisfaction. Hunger fulfilled. A burning sensation though, to a lukewarm, inexperienced tongue. Then everything's numb, grey, complex and unusual but obviously what a new or strange experience should be like. And opaque daze. It could be a first sexual experience, but it could be a drug or something else. Nothing in the poem hints toward sexual, unless you just think everything's sexual, which I do, but is beside the point here. I think it's easier to get to a drug theme in it than a sexual one.
