    Breath by Breath
    I thought I saw you the other day,
    Your hands still clinched in that fist I know too well.
    I thought I saw those evil eyes,
    The ones that burned me as you cut me with your rage.
    I loved you and you slowly killed me,
    Piece by piece I disappeared.
    Inch by inch my body broke.
    Your never ending grasp digging deeper and deeper.
    I survived by faith.
    But the other day I thought I saw you.
    Anyday I may still see you,
    I continue to live breath by breath.

    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.
