In the poem descriptions of heaven and hell because of how he worded the beginning I liked how he described it and how he begins it especially. I am confused on how he knew he was in hell, when it said “the wave breaks and i'm carried into it”, I would think that he was carried into heaven, but he says that right then he knew that he was carried into hell. I don’t get how he hears his father's laughter though, is his father in hell with him? I think that he may be, because after that he starts talking about what “irked” him, which was “asking what is beyond death?” his theory once was that love greets you and the love greets you, and the loveless don't know what to say.” I think it may just mean that since the loveless isn’t greeted by anybody they just don’t have anything to say.
In this poem the title is The descriptions of Heaven and Hell, but where does it describe Heaven? I think that he may be saying that he is in Heaven when he says “yet my father laughs, chest deep proving i’m wrong. we’re safely rooted, rocked on his toes.” I think that when he says that they are “rooted safely, rocked on his toes.” Since they are safe they might be in heaven.
