Caught from the pit
Of a deserted quarry?
Let me kiss thy breasts:
I am thy son and lover.
ON WAKING
Sleep, gray brother of death,
Has touched me,
And passed on.
I arise, facing the east—
Pearl-doored sanctuary
Caught from the pit
Of a deserted quarry?
Let me kiss thy breasts:
I am thy son and lover.
Sleep, gray brother of death,
Has touched me,
And passed on.
I arise, facing the east—
Pearl-doored sanctuary
