I'm interested in hearing people's interpretations of "One is breaking through, the other just hangs." Is it the man who is hanging, executed as a tyrannical officer would perhaps desire, or the hope and innocence of the boy being destroyed?

I think it's the hope and innocence of the boy dying as the man breaks through.
It is possible to become an adult and keep the hope and wonder.
But so many things will kill it.
Thankfully it’s not dead, it’s exiled! Joy and wonder and peace and love and more can be recovered through healing trauma. I know because I lost them all for decades before finding them again.
