| Notes | The speaker of this poem describes a man, fleeing a burning city, with only the weight of a poem as his luggage. On arriving in a safe place, the speaker notes that the 'evidence' of his poem that he reports is almost senseless gibberish. This could be read as a migrant's attempts to speak of the trauma of their former life, and perhaps encountering significant language or cultural barriers. |
