Eyes Fastened With Pins Comments

Everyone should read Charles Simic! Fullstop.

The poem perhaps refers to life; s uncertainties.Who knows when death strikes? Some one very close to death may not have an inkling that death is coming.Like the poet says- - - 'The little wife always alone ironing death's laundry'

Death is part of us on this earth. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A dime to call the one pining away, Undressing slowly, sleepily, And stretching naked On death's side of the bed.

just simple poetic. every line brings forth a different emotion this is one of the finest works of art i have ever come across.

The wife always alone ironing death's laundry is an amazing line...I love this poem. Every line is amazing.
