Subject(s): Poisons & Poisoning


There is
This night a poignant
Superfluity
Of things: the very heavens sag,
Star-burdened;
While sweet
With scent of trees
And honeyed flowers, and warmth
Caught up from cooling earth, the air,
Like amber
Wine,
Adds torture to
A lingering desire --
Enhancing cruelly the dearth
Of you!
