    Poem Commentary

    According to numerology, I am a number 9.  I have simply taken the definition of what a number nine is, and put it to poetry.  I don't believe in numerology, nor do I know much about it, but I found it to be interestingly accurate.

    Wounded Healer

     My wounded healer
    in some way
    feels responsible
    for keeping up
    the morality of mankind.
    numerology, Number Nine.

    Spirit Psyche
    enlightens their very souls
    by finding ways to tell them
    that mankind is divine.
    numerology, Number Nine.

    Priestess goddess
    writes, sings, paints;  modest.
    Grain of sand, breathes perfumes,
    social being, selfless whole,
    dark night test of faith, of soul.

    Wounded healer,
    compassion road
    does not lead to true rewards.
    Eldritch, airy, female shrine,
    numrology, Number Nine.

    Curious air
    of break-up, detachment.
    Secret rebel Number Nine,
    few can see to treasure you.
    Mankind mostly makes you blue.
    You continue to pursue.
    Your truth,....
                          it tends to shine.

    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.
