"Limits"
"Limits" is a poem that explores the idea that everything comes to an unexpected end. Throughout the poem, the narrator repeatedly mentions that someone may go somewhere, and everyone else has no idea if they will never see them again. As humans, we yearn for conclusion and knowledge, so that sense of uncertainty is often hard to bear, especially when it ends up with that person never showing up again after all.
"Elegy for a Park"
"Elegy for a Park" too recollects on things that have been lost, but instead commemorates them. By stating that time is a continuous cycle that mixes together throughout history, the reader finally realizes that the specific park that the narrator is speaking of is an ancient Roman park in Carthage. The poem, by starting off with the line, "The Labyrinth is lost", gives the idea of the irony to come.
"Sleep"
When you are sleeping, who knows what really happens? While asleep, you slip into an era that can only barely be remembered, something so peaceful and great that you hardly ever want to leave it when you awake in the morning. The narrator asks readers why we would indeed leave something so great, and what it is that makes sleep great. Perhaps, he implies, it is a time where your darkest thoughts are let free.
