    Oman


    Cocks crowing at midnight
    kept me wide awake
    sleep eluded me
    thoughts crowded my mind
    the tall dry mountains
    you think you'd wintry lips
    you keep biting them
    the desert seems so close to you
    the date gardens leave you desolate

    The rugged people in white robes
    with hoarse throats and wailing voices
    seemed a mournful race
    God's vengeance at its best
    as you know them more
    much as they let you to
    you touch the higher ground
    a people of primitive goodness

    The endless chains of mountains
    the infinite expanse of sand
    dotted with thorn bushes
    a furnace fed by the sun
    and the austerity of Islam
    have all molded their existence
    they trust in a salvation
    that God would some day work out

    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.
