@louist457 I'm sorry but this poem is often used for schoolwork - unfortunately I can't allow remarks to remain if they contain profanity or language that might be offensive to some people. Nevertheless I appreciate the fact that you took time to listen and give your opinion. He's not talking about his wife, incidentally, but the constant presence his own body.

I dream I was a wolf

Alone in the forest

I was deeply touched by this poem. I googled lou reed and came across Delmore Schwartz Im usually not into poems but I somehow feel this one. It feels somehow familiar in a very creepy way. But it feels good somehow too. Im really impressed somehow.

Superbly executed performance; surpassed, perhaps, only be your commentary

[TheArchDandy]

I really like this poem... somehow I hadn't heard it. It came across me at an appropriate time today, and it's a good reading as well..
