i don't know of rilke and i read all three of your poems. this is the only one i might understand at all. BUT i will say: they are INTERESTING....in a good way rather than bad i guess. and at least they aren't long, so i don't have to be puzzled through a long reading. thanks for sharing. i clicked on you as you were one of only two poets listed as being online...........though i know that was not true, as i am not listed as online.
