    Gain and Lost

    Cold and insensible
    She lied there in form,
    Having a vaguely pallid tent
    To her skin;
    Brown and warm.

    The world died with her
    As it all stood in place.
    My hand quivered as I touched her
    With that smile upon her face.  

    I wish I could’ve said something;
    Gave her soul a smiling wave.
    But all was left was her shell
    Descending to its grave.  

    No more tears are shed,
    Lying in this bed,
    Lying, with a shiver.
    She is living for eternity,
    But part of me died with her.

    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.
