a pain to his enemies and let there exist for us

“I want to cry because I feel like it—
the way children cry in the last row of seats—
because I’m not a man, not a poet, not a leaf—
only a wounded pulse that probes the things of the other side.”

“Before lowering the perfumed curtain to express her love,
She knits her eyebrows, worried that the night is too short.
She urges the young lover to go to bed
First, so as to warm up the mandarin-duck quilt.
A moment later she puts down her unfinished needlework
And removes her silk skirt, to indulge in passion without end.
Let me keep the lamp before the curtain
That I may look at her lovely face from time to time!”
