Written in My Dreams by W. C. Williams - meaning Summary
Desire as Plain Truth
Ginsberg addresses desire as an ordinary, truthful human impulse that should be acknowledged rather than disguised. He urges candid self-expression of bodily and mental needs—"eyes ears tongue sex and brain"—so individuals can speak honestly, relieve inner burdens, and foster communal understanding. The poem moves from an unashamed acceptance of desire toward the idea that facing it openly leads to clearer judgment and eventual wisdom.
