    Poem Commentary

    As you read this piece
    it should be plain enough
    to understand what happened.

    Splintered

    We sang
            we danced
    beating drums
               swaying bodies
    drawn together by threads of pain

    childhood terrors
               cast shadows
    on a wall
            screams escape
    from a corner
                 voices cry inside ones mind

    splintered

    Thank you for looking deep into this poem, many of us do not or can not always understand what others are trying to acknowledge from deep within.

    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.
