This was amazing; it kind of opened my eyes to how spiritually
people can be. How small acts can mean more to them, these people hold themselves
close to this church, but yet it seems to me that they have defied their
spiritual believes and now they hold shame for it. (Lines 1-9) “Sex fingers
toes, in the marketplace, near your father’s church in hamlet, north Carolina-,
witness to this love, in this calm fallow, of these minds, there is no substitute
for pain: genitals gone or going,” their love may have not been true, you
notice in the first three words it doesn’t mention anything about love just
about the act of sex and that it caused more pain than good, which I take it
was suppost to take the pain away. But then three lines down it, says “witness
to this love” now it’s just not sex its love and nothing will be able to change
that right?
It seems that the man and the women, can conceive, (the
lines 10, and 18) 10, “Seed burned out”18, “in mute change, the seed is gone”
this man is in cable of having children, and it seems that the women is taking
the blame for it. But it seems that there is a big difference in the families
that one is of a higher stander in society and the other isn’t as high, I feel a
lot of conflict right there between the author and the other people of the
town, it seems like their love isn’t accepted by the higher people of society
that they have. But this man, doesn’t seem to be bothered by it because I think
he has been down to rock bottom, and he have “A love supreme” which is a
spiritual experience that changed who he use to be, and now he’s getting back
to regular life.
I loved this poem, it was wonderful.
