Domination of Black
Here is what this poem says to me. All is the same. Everything abstracted
only slightly becomes like everything else. The poem distilled most simply
is this. The bright red berry of the hemlock, surrounded by its leaves
sparkling with firelight either in his room or from his room. The bright
red center of the peacocks tail feather, surrounded by a swirl of
iridescent color. The sun surrounded by a swirl of planets and stars in
the dark sky. Wallace himself, a flash of color sitting before the
brightness of the fire. All the same. So simple and sudden in his
realization. And he felt afraid.

I believe that it shows how night turns simple things into our greatest
fears. At night a cat running by, or wind blowing through the trees can
scare us because our imagination takes flight. It is in this way that
darkness rules us..it gives strength to those fears and allows them to take
over us.

I don't believe this one has a clear "meaning." Perhaps it's best to think
of it more like a musical tone poem or as an abstract painting with words
rather than paint. There are some meaningful trends in the text: night is
coming on, and it is autumn, both of these have symbolic associations with
death or its approach. The poem is hypnotic in its repetitions, and builds
from leaves turning in the wind all the way to the stars turning in the
heavens. A dark mood prevails and the poet feels fear. And then there are
those haunting cries from the peacocks. This is one of my favorite poems,
even if I don't think it has a clearly definable meaning. It is an object
of beauty, to be seen simply for what it is. (see his poem the snow man).
