    An Old Flame
    I wonder; Is this how a fire feels?
    With coals unstirred,
    Its strident flames dampened;
    Denied its own creative being,
    Does it fester in frustration-
    its passionate anger barely disguised,
    Or does it die a quiet death...
    Remembered only by its ashes?

    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.
