    Poem Commentary

    Loss is  the theme. Penned in 1988, and reflective of nature and human tragedy.

    The Last Rose

              I have seen the Rose
      Tightening, thickening outer petals
               As the temperature dips,
                  And I do understand.

               From the outside,
              The light and vigor
            Of life are squelched,
        And Death comes, outside in.

                  And it must hurt,
        As do I, physically, psychically,
              As though and inner trust
            Has been wantonly crushed.

    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.
