Just A Flash
Tears threatening to spill,
head throbbing mercilessly,
body aching painfully,
I sit here forgotten by all.
Alone in a crowded room,
I could be invisible to them,
for those who see me,
they number so few.
Tormented by the silence,
a look or word directed my way,
a flash of visibility,
leaves me hungering for more.
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.
