I Go to This Window
I Go to This Window - meaning Summary
Twilight Becomes Inward Plunge
A speaker stands at a window at twilight, seeing a thin new moon and feeling inadequate compared with an intense beloved who inhabits the mind. Initial fear and self-criticism give way to clarity and a knowing smile as the beloved (or moon) sharpens into presence. The poem ends with a sudden inward plunge of expansive, overwhelming dreams, suggesting a collapse of outer observation into inward imaginative experience.
