the motto of a poem is: let's explore!
the poem does not create universes like a novel, and rarely does it create real characters. no. what the poet is thinking in the moment of creation is "i am a human being. i will put words together in such a way as to make you bleed. and once you bleed, then you will know what it means to be really human."
it's about revealing, ripping out, all of the essence of what it means to be alive and to feel.
to live: to experience elation and depression in quasi-instantaneous succession..! this is to feel, to be alive with every fiber of your body, and, for a glowing moment, to know the vastness of what it means to be "human!"
