Poem 14

I read "Homecoming" by Robert Lowell.

It was a poem different from all the other ones which i have read. It was about a night at a casino with Lowell's friends where he meets a woman and wishes to sleep with her, but something happens and he does not. He is left in a daze sometimes looking for her. It was an odd poem also in the fact that it did not speak of the beauty of this woman or his love for her. It really just seemed like a one night stand. Pretty odd poem in my opinion.
