I think the performance of this poem is very unique. I like the way the poet added music to his poem and the passages in which he sang his poem. It is very extraordinary way of reading one’s poem I guess. So music plays an important role in his performance. But it’s not just the music which makes it so special. It’s also the way he reads the poem and the way he stresses certain words in combination with his gestures. It made me feel his affection to that woman and involves the listeners I guess.
Actually, this poem is about the love of a man to a woman. However, through his language one can hear how desperately he loves her. His feelings to her make him even suffer and let him act in a rather self-destructing way. He totally surrenders himself to her which is emphasized through several passages in this work. Actually, he uses many negatively connotated words such as ‘hate’ or ‘die’, for instance, in the following passage: “You’ve a daily pill case but there’re no pills inside. It holds the ashes of people who died the moment they saw you.”
The way he described his’ woman’s beauty is also great: “The mathematical equivalent of a woman’s beauty is directly relational to the amount or degree that other women hate her. And you dear are hated a lot. You’re boots are soundtracked with adultery...” I like his formular of the beauty of women since I think it makes perfect sense.
