The Halo That Would Not Light

The first four stanzas seem to be talking about the fable of a stork dropping off babies.  What struck me was the negative way it was shown.  The way he talks about the raptors beak shows this because raptor is harsh and sounds mean.  Also, he talks about the raptor dropping the tiny body, which sounds much more violent than the picture I have in my head of a stork.
At the end of the poem, he says "the spectacular catastrophe of your endless childhood is done."  I think he is talking about the loss of innocence at a certain point.  I like to think that for once, one of these poems is not about death but just a growing up.  But growing up in a negative way.  It's just about the loss of wonder and chaotic-ness of childhood.
I really like the imagery of "hunting as the leather seats of swings go back and forth with no one in them".  I could see a sad, dark, funeral-like picture of an empty swing.  This really added to the idea of a loss.
