There are many factors that isolate the individual. The social isolation is the complete lack of contact between an individual and the rest of the society. One of the main factors is staying at home for lengthy periods of time, having no communication with family or friends, and in fact avoiding these contacts when the possibility do arise.
It is dangerous because it can be a chronic condition that affects all aspects of a person's existence and can lead to feelings of loneliness, fear of others, social panic or negative self esteem.
The lack of contact with other beings can also lead to depression. We, humans, are naturally social beings and need to have contact with other to have a healthy, mindful life.
When the poet witnessed the death of her canary as a child, she was not immediately moved to "tears or sadness" but was struck by the "fitness" of the burial of the canary. However, she later experienced loss as an adult and felt a deep sense of grief:
Not knowing death would be hard
Later, dark, without form or purpose.
After my first true grief I wept, was sad, was dark, . . .
After she finished grieving, she recalled her childhood response to the death of the canary. She feels that her first response was wiser, though it seems to lack sensitivity. She feels that all human experience is a form of play, and death is a kind of farewell ritual:
The yellow bird sings in my mind and I say
That the child is callous but wise, knows the purpose of play.
