Hmm, it's quite vague but the last stanza, clears the way for interpretation somewhat. I like the 'pale and naked, uncooked eyes' phrase- it has sort of insightful bite to it.
perhaps a necessary terminating, slightly postponed chord concluding the 'carnal ecstatic' piece. consuming oysters is disturbing, given their resemblance to a shellful of phlegm and to the fact of their still-beating hearts as they're poured down one's gullet. just thought i'd give 'em a way to peer back at the predator. we always must pull down our heroes after we've elevated them; saints seem to escape this fate.
