I think in your poem from “Schilling Love”
the word claim means declare
and your profound use of the word steep means to study, swallow and regurgitate it a few times—

maybe lasting for days, months, or years before the poet (the writer, the speaker, etc) is certain
it is being put into play the way that sound transference seems to be at its max / pinnacle

and even if what is being suggested (from the word) is so perplexing that it confounds the author of it

I don’t really know what my answer is yet, but with permission would like to ponder it some more…

I do know that I like it when she asks questions like that—I felt like she was giving me an IQ test, which in fact I was given one forcibly once
