THE DARK VISITOR, by ANNE MILLAY BREMER First Line: She waits for me at night Last Line: Shamefaced, she slinks away. Subject(s): Guests; Love Affairs; Night; Visiting; Bedtime | |||
SHE waits for me at night, And will not let me go Alone to bed; Clutches me tight, And chokes my throat, her head Heavy upon my chest. By cunning, grim deceit, She clasps me to her breast, With lead weighs down my feet. With her hot breath She sears my face, Sighing of ills, and death. Dark wanton, false, In truth of sunlit day; Her perfidy exposed, Shamefaced, she slinks away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN |
