naptime
The rain drops
falling on a willow
hanging over a bed of dirt
I'm now to go to sleep
-- never to rise such a slumber eternal--
The rain falls like tears
and my bed is ready
Now I must lay myself into darkness
forever gone, from this world, into the next
I only weep inside as I become one with the earth
I'm comfortable, deeply asleep
unable to hear those call for me and
unable to hear the roses fall upon my bed
laid under a quilt of green
I'm ready to sleep now until the end of eternity.
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.
