TEARS

Tears





I`m crying all the time now.
I cried all over the street when I left the Seattle Wobbly Hall.
I cried listening to Bach.
I cried looking at the happy flowers in my backyard, I cried at
                     the sadness of the middle-aged trees.


Happiness exists I feel it.
I cried for my soul, I cried for the world`s soul.
The world has a beautiful soul.
God appearing to be seen and cried over. Overflowing heart of
                    Paterson.

Allen Ginsberg, 1956


Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997), amerikansk beatpoet med jødisk bakgrunn. Paterson i New Jersey var heimbyen hans.
