    Fire

    Who will save me
    Jump into the fire
    And free my frozen body?

    Why does it not burn?
    My skin should crack
    But not a scratch

    Now I see a figure
    Fighting their way to me
    I reach out

    Fingers ghost along cool air
    A figment
    From a lost era

    No more real
    Than the fire that rages
    Just so sad

    I see the ghosts
    That used to protect me
    But they are all dead

    Now I am left
    To fight the fire that rages
    All on my own

    Late at night
    When I don't sleep
    When moonlight lights the earth

    When you can't hurt me anymore
    I look to the fire
    That burnt away my barriers

    I feel its heat
    At last
    I smell scorched skin

    And I laugh
    At the pain I mistook
    For life

    The emptiness is gone
    And now I am open
    To your manipulations

    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.
