It Is Funny, You Will Be Dead Some Day - meaning Summary
Mortality Meets Erotic Longing
The poem confronts mortality through a mix of erotic imagery and wry detachment. The speaker imagines the beloved’s body and desire reduced to absence, while sensual detail collides with cosmic elements like grass, stars, sun and wind. Tone oscillates between dark humor and poignancy as the speaker accepts that bodies, days, and intensity will pass, and suggests the beloved may one day prefer other sensations or lovers beyond the speaker.
