This poem is about how Frederico suffered when his dad passed away. It is still with him the sorrow. Wherever his dad used to be, if he goes there, he will feel the spirit. "I learned from u. u taught me of the wildness of grief, so out of control, so hysterical, without promise of
consolation or moving on. u took me to a cruel & ugly place devoid of grief softening imagery." Frederico has been through a lot. When you lost a love one, it like you have lost everything. When stated "i cried for all of the lovers i would lose & i cried for u, garcia lorca, like the ants who cried when the king died, beaten to death by Franco falangists, truly a victim of rough trade, truly a hero for the way u lived yr life & the courage u displayed at the moment of yr death." I have been through that experience twice in my life where I have lost my grandmother a week before my wedding day and my stepfather due to the tragedy in Haiti. It was very hard for me to deal with my grandmother death because she had a part of my wedding. She passed away the Saturday before the wedding.And as for my stepfather, I couldn't accept his death just because. His was the hardest because he wasn't sick. He went to visit his other family members in Haiti and he didn't make it back.
