Crystal Walk-In
In the temple's corridor,
I see how a red light flashes,
And covers all over;
Its luminosity distillates a fragrance,
Resembling
A marble god's advent,
And the shadow projected on the floor
Shows
His fulfilled prophecy,
Which is written on air and warmth;
Like a flesh-and-blood spirit that walks
On silver crowns and purple orchids;
My hand is able to grasp a sword of His,
And slash the ether,
To make the sun scream.
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.
