  • Amazing

    This poem is amazing! It can be taken into two different directions. One is that Thomas could be experiencing an internal struggle between life and death. The line "Drives in a death as life leaks out" supports this point of view. In the poem, Thomas chooses life over death. On the contrary this poem could also be a grief process. It's as if Thomas has lost someone whom he cared for deeply and to express his feelings he wrote. The line "and the heart gives up its dead" is the last line of the poem. It fits in the view of a grief process because in the end, Thomas has let go of the person whom he has lost....
