Confusion By Kenneth Rexroth
I pass your home in a slow vermilion dawn,
The blinds are drawn, and the windows are open.
The soft breeze from the lake
Is like your breath upon my cheek.
All day long I walk in the intermittent rainfall.
I pick a vermilion tulip in the deserted park,

What is the meaning of this poem and how does it connect to the title?

What have you understood or percieved from this poem? :3

anonymous · Answer

I think it about a person who is expressing his love for someone.

arabpride · Answer

Well then, ask yourself: why would there be a sense of "confusion"? what could have caused this? :3

anonymous · Answer

He is probably confused to why his lover doesn't like him back.

arabpride · Answer

There seems to be something more... is this the entire poem?

anonymous · Answer

Almost forgot, this is the rest of the poem

Bright raindrops cling to its petals.
At five o'clock it is a lonely color in the city.
I pass your home in a rainy evening,
I can see you faintly, moving between lighted walls.
Late at night I sit before a white sheet of paper,
Until a fallen vermilion petal quivers before me.
