Comments on the poems In the Desert and A Man Said to the Universe.

This two poems brought me special attention because they look to me like they are related oppositely some manner.
The name desert implies emptiness, no lives. But in contrast, the universe means everything that surrounds us, in fact lives. So there most be some kind of contrast between the two poems. However I want to focus my comments on the In the Desert poem.
Besides, the In the Desert poem is contrast with itself because we don't usually find living creatures in the desert but in its case someone saw a naked, bestial creature.....
I think this poem has to do something with our own lives. There are moments in which we find holes or emptiness in our lives, no matter what circumstances we have to like it and accept it because is part of us no matter how bitter, rough the moments can be.
I personally think that the naked creature implies someone with problems in their lives.
The poem is very challenging though because many names that do not convey their real denotation are used in it.
I strongly admire the author's creativeness and skill to to relate too many different conceptual words in a single work like this.
