You drop your head. You sleep. Your hands are curled

Loosely, like some half-opened, perfumed flower.

An hour ago they burned in mine and sent

Armies with banners charging through my veins.

Now they are cool and white; they rest content,

Curved in a smile. The mystery remains.

A SIDE STREET

On the warm Sunday afternoons

And every evening in the Spring and Summer

When the night hurries the late home-comer
