TIDAL WAIL.

The beach's tears have been wrung out like a sponge.

Possibly a close-up of a huge blank page, of a book's initial letter

Written during the all-revealing night of loneliness.

As I move forward, I can see the ocean's far shore.

Each invertebrate that becomes stranded becomes a spineless choice.

Continually pricked by birds' flashing beaks,

The tracks I leave behind are ones I'm embarrassed of. Loop

And the united ostracisms of the shells.

Soon, complicit water will once again cover everything.

But only until the conviction this evening.

The poem depicts a sense of loneliness and isolation that the poet is experiencing. The first line, "The beach's tears have been wrung out like a sponge," creates a metaphorical image of the beach being emptied of its emotions, much like a sponge being squeezed of its water. The following line, "Possibly a close-up of a huge blank page, of a book's initial letter," further emphasizes the feeling of emptiness and solitude, as if the speaker is facing a vast, empty space that they must fill with their own thoughts and feelings.

As the speaker moves forward, they see the ocean's far shore, suggesting a sense of hope or a destination to strive towards. However, the imagery of the invertebrates becoming "spineless choices" and the speaker's tracks being "ones I'm embarrassed of" convey a sense of guilt and shame. The birds pricking the stranded invertebrates with their beaks also adds to the sense of violence and cruelty in the natural world.

The final lines, "But only until the conviction this evening," suggest a moment of decision or realization for the poet. The use of the word "conviction" suggests a sense of determination or resolution to overcome the feelings of loneliness and isolation. The theme of the poem could be interpreted as the struggle to find meaning and connection in a world that can often feel empty and cruel. The natural world is depicted as both beautiful and violent, suggesting a complex and often contradictory reality that the speaker must navigate. Ultimately, the poem ends on a note of hope, with the poet determined to move forward and find meaning in their experiences.

Dream of Princess

My princess hailed the large crowd that had been gathered.

For the event while standing on the balcony of her palace.

And she said, "Let me extend to you my entire fortunate heart filled with love."

Thank you for giving birth to a new notion that will bear my noble heart's name,

Of which you can be justly proud. The bright future of this realm hinges on her.

Because she is the new heir to a famous and distinguished lineage. 

"Sing the elegy and elide fun!" As they welcomed the new tyrant.

Who would tie the yoke of oppression to their necks?

By controlling the weak with venomous authority, 

Using their bodies for exploitation, and murdering them, 

The voices of the multitudes, full of joy and gratitude, 

Filled the skies with thrilling music.

The populace was jubilantly singing and drinking 

To the new groom's heady presence for that destiny.

Then she drew me to her withered lap and placed her arms around my frigid soul, 

As if she wanted to unite the two bodies once again.

She sobbed, gently raising her burning eyes to the heavens .

"Ya, Allah! Please look after my unfortunate longing!"

At that moment, clouds floated off the princess's face,

Their rays penetrating the transom of that escatsy and falling upon.

The poem is a satirical commentary on the nature of power and oppression. It describes the scene of a new princess being crowned, who is hailed by a large crowd. The speaker, who is not directly involved in the festivities, observes the scene with a critical eye. The princess speaks to the crowd, expressing her love and gratitude, and introduces a new notion that will bear her name.

The irony in the poem lies in the fact that while the princess is expressing love and goodwill, the people are celebrating the arrival of a new tyrant who will oppress them with venomous authority. The theme of the poem is the abuse of power and the suffering that it causes. The imagery of the poem is rich and vivid, depicting the jubilant singing and drinking of the populace, which stands in stark contrast to the misery and exploitation that they will soon face under the new regime.

Towards the end of the poem, the speaker is drawn into the scene by the princess, who sobs and raises her eyes to the heavens. This moment highlights the speaker's empathy for the plight of the people who will suffer under the new regime. The poem suggests that power can corrupt even the most well-intentioned rulers and that those who suffer the most are often the most vulnerable members of society.
