being
working within the opposites
welded together, yet pliable
finding an appreciation
between the existing polar
and knowing the repellent
gives shine to the attraction
striding in uncertainty
is life’s breath and swoons
with the promise of death
being
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.
