* Lines like "If everything comes crashing down"
are replete with the trope of body and corporeal
images used to portray the entire spectrum of
emotions like love, desire, passion, dej,ection,
despair and scorn, making the body not just the
vehicle for physical gratification but something
sublime.
The centra l image of the poem is the metap hor of the huma n body in
relatio n to a countr y.
Violen ce is a recurr ing eleme nt in the poem , 'mach ine guns' 'the
songs of wrath and those of war', ' words that echo of gun fire'.
Violen ce is inevit able in conqu ests and invasi ons. Colon isatio n is
synon ymous with wars and battle s. This violen t image ry in the
countr y is also resona nt with physic al violen ce and abuse .
111 Anoth er impor tant eleme nt is the metap hor of writin g, makin g
histor y and record ing it - 'set up your home your office the writin g
desk', 'so script your storie s here', & chron icled across my line of
down.
