Despite the subdued tone the materials of memory which are both the subject of the poem and its building blocks are very provocative. The frame of reference is the most extremer which could come to mind. On the other hand there are enough traumas to go around - in personal life. Do we remember those things differently? As present moves to past does it all become:"a document" regardless of its forum the public area or the personal. It leaves a lot to process, and as I said the comparison to the memories or the worst atrocities left me unsettled, as if highly volatile material was loaded in front of me but maybe was not fully processed.
