It may not seem like it, but this poem by our lovely friend Keef holds many secret, deep meanings and messages.
Howling at a concrete moon
As seen by the rest of the poem, the character described, or I'll just call him
Keef, has made many a mistake in his past. Wolves howl when they are caused anxiety by a dear friend being seperated from them. This means that Keef is howling at the moon because he is
serperated from it. But why would he be seperated from the moon? The moon is always there. However, look at how Keef describes it:
concrete. Concrete is hard, strong, sturdy and durable. Keef has been separated from his strength, seperated from his fullmetal heart that he once had. He is howling at the concrete moon because the moon has the sort of independent power and wisdom, what Keef had before they were corrupted.
My soul smells like a dead pigeon after three weeks.
Dead pigeons smell, especially after three weeks. You know what else smells?
Dirty SOULS. Keef's soul has been dirtied and tainted, and is in great need of cleansing and purification.
I shut my window and go to sleep.
This may seem like a typical "going to bed", but it's not. Keef is shutting his window, a.k.a. his connection and brotherhood with family and society. He is going to sleep, or as it
really is, going into
eternal sleep. Yes... Keef has committed suicide.
In my dream I eat corn with my eyes.
Corn is nourishment and food, and the Keef is eating it with his eyes. Well... Have you heard of the urban term, "eye candy"? This is alike. The key difference is that while candy is just for pleasure and doesn't really increase health and well being, corn does just that. This means he has laid eyes upon something that is pleasing, and healthy for them-- something after death. He had found true happiness even after life ended. He has found the true sight of pride, after all that was lost in his mortal life.
