Reflection III

Do you still write in your journal?
I'm terribly curious what you'd write about me-
What you've written about me in the past.
Do you remember how concerned I was for you
After reading through them all?
And you told me you were better now,
And I was not to worry about those things.
So,
I didn't,
But now I realise I should have.
I should have asked you more questions
About why you constantly put yourself at Molly's feet
(Which is not where you belong.)
I should have thought more about
What your heart was going through,
Trying to let go of her, (by being with me?)
I guess I was far too distracted (willfully ignorant...?)
To notice
How much you missed her and
How much I couldn't replace her.
If I had known,
I should not have gotten in the way.
Maybe then I could have spared us
All this aftermath.

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.
