Yes!!! Actually it’s a reference to a pretty mystical experience I had with Ginsberg years ago in San Francisco, and I just posted a note about possibly writing an essay about it, so I might have to do just that now…
Please do!!! Ginsberg is absolutely brilliant. His journals are on my favorites shelf, and his collected poems are such a meaty manuscript to excavate. I adore his phrase and title “Tv was a baby crawling towards the deathchamber” Truly such revolutionary.
"and what matters is love
in the end, or so the poets say,
Allen with your long hair
perched in the tree and giving me
little keys into the infinite —"
