Analyze - Krynicki / Milosz "I Can't Help You"

The poem "I Can't Help You" by Ryszard Krynicki is short and to the metaphorical point. In the first line, "Poor moth, I can't help you". Krynicki expresses sympathy and helplessness for the moth as it approaches a likely death. In the second and last line, "I can only turn out the light", Krynicki is powerless to prevent the moth from its own determination. I suppose turning out the light could also mean turning a blind eye to death. In addition to this poem being a metaphor, it is an ironic metaphor that implies respect and praise for those courageous enough to put them selves in danger for a common goal.
