In A Cool, Dry Place

At the crime scene,

it was odd,

felt like a dream,

the dead girl’s clothes

were still being checked

for trace evidence,

trying not to let this death fail,

looking through the thick crust

of detail,

face pale,

it was a homicide,

in a cool, dry place,

first they thought it was a suicide,

but nevertheless it was such a waste,

a terrible loss,

the dead staring you in the face,

no luck, no trace.

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.
