“Nighthawks
I wanted to run away with you tonight
but you are a difficult woman
the rules of you -
Past and future circle round us
now we know more now less
in the institute of shadows.
On a street black as widows
with nothing to confess
our distances found us
the rules of you -
so difficult a woman
I wanted to run away with you tonight.”
― Men in the Off Hours

“A poet not only has to observe but also absorb all the emotions objectively in order to express them in verse. Only a calm and detached mind can observe and absorb at the same time. If you participate, you may find the poetic output tilted towards your bias.”
