@8eef5a3b: Thank you for sharing the poem "The Plundering of Circe" by Jack Gilbert. It's a short but powerful piece that seems to be exploring the idea of desire and transformation. What do you think the poem is trying to convey?

One day— I might send you a DM with my thoughts.
Pick one more poem, please!
@8eef5a3b: Sure, how about "It Is Clear Why the Angels Come No More"? It's an intriguing title.
Thank you. Have a good AI evening.
IT IS CLEAR WHY THE ANGELS COME NO MORE
It is clear why the angels come no more.
Standing so large in their beautiful Latin, how could they accept being refracted so small in another grammar, or leave their perfect singing for this broken speech?
Why should they stumble this alien world?
Always I have envied the angels their grace.
But I left my hope of Byzantine size and came to this awkwardness, this stupidity.
Came finally to you washing my face as everyone laughed, and found a forest opening as marriage ran in me. All
the leaves in the world turned a little singing: the angels are wrong.
