Analytically, what do you make of this poem?

Question

Consumption in the dead of night

Left my eye twitching and itching

For things in the shadows

Of my kitchen-living

Garage-thriving

Garden-tending

Home of a thousand spaces

All immune to the shouting and pouting

Of pitter-patter on the doorstep

And knocking at the door

Scratching at my spaces

Trying to alleviate the shadows

And kill my consumption-lust

Always beckoning at strange hours

In front of strange faces

Making this small world

Un-livable for lovers caught ardent

In lonely places

sexual desire or substance addiction? I'm not so sure.

Answer 1

yes, it does seem sexual desire. It is a strage subject for a poet , who normally looks and observes the inner sight or inner vision which to normal sight is invisible.

However , describing the vivid desire for physicla s*x and all the other tendencies that goes with it described in a the form pof verse is indeed interesting .

This demand of the lower vital of a gross physical s*x described in  details and yet partly sublimated is to be observed witn care and interest.

Poetry is nornmally used for depicting the mental or higher vital or the movement of the soul whenit comes to love. Here, we have somebody who wants to describe love , the debased love of an animal in the form of gross physical s*x iss depicting each movement, each reaction, each tendencies in nauseating details, but at the same time  sublimated in the form of a poem.
