Obscenities

[Thunderembargo]

There is quite a lot going on in this poem. I agree with the analysis that Fields gave. The sense that the poem is continually breaking apart adds to hidden meaning of the poem. That desperation, and even desparate measures are merely a containable, decipherable and even predictable measure of loss and separation. The writing is solid, competent, certain. But is also a chapter or an entry in a journey of poetry, which is by necessity and by definition a study of loss, anguish, suffering, ennui and separation.
