I watched the recent TV series on the Inca - they had a similar idea of different layers or types of time co-existing for each individual. Fascinating.

I am always so envious of the way poets such as yourself can create wholly believable characters and situations by the skillful placing of relatively few words, and by the rhythm you create. This was very moving, and that last stanza will stay...
