Outside
The afternoon sun
kisses her cold face,
As a note of sadness dangles
from her longing eyes.
She sits quietly
watching the water
lapping languidly at the seawall.
For a fluid transcendent moment
she is there
all present.
Looking for words,
Embraced by the wind,
Letting go,
the sun kissing her face.

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.
