     alone

    in a small wooden boat-

    floating out in the ocean.

    feeling, with eyes closed,

    the seam that exists between

    night and day-

    this story completes itself.

    this moment, itself envelopes

    old poems.

    this end.

    these questions

    do answer them-

    selves.

    This poem has a dreamy, lonely feel to it. Lovely and frightening at the same time. I like it very, very much.

    didn't think about it, but that's exactly how I felt when I wrote it.

    Interesting and concise. The poem is a metaphor of the age old questions we ask ourselves. Glad I found you.

    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.
