Bringers

Bringers - meaning Summary

Seeking Shelter from Exposure

The speaker asks to be covered and left alone, invoking nameless agents who bring dusk, dust, and dreams. The repeated plea mixes fatigue and a desire for protection or concealment, suggesting retreat from public life or pain into a soft, ambiguous shelter. The poem frames solitude as both an ending and a mercy, addressing impersonal forces to provide rest and release rather than active consolation.
