expectation
When do the birds stop singing and the shadows approach
Because I’ve been waiting
And the nightmares do not return under your watchful gaze
Yet the feelings of fear never subside
And my expectations are crushed
Under the weight of your perfect protection
My question is:
Do I want to feel pain
Or am I just needing the attention I receive
When fear takes over
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
