untitled
reaching back through memory,dredging through petrified thought
hard and black as bones turned
to stone,
one can't help but feel the ache,
the sodden weight,
of emotion forever detached
from the present.
untitled
reaching back through memory,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.
