Clean Sweep
Sweeping out the memories
from the corners of my mind
Thoughts of you escape my broom
and none of them are kind
For when I try to sleep at night
they gather in my heart
allready burdened by the pain
which grows while we're apart
I think its time to cauterize
the wounds you left are deep
Steal this pain from out of me
that I may finally sleep
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.
