And I lie Drowsy with quizzical half-open eye Musing upon the contour of your head, Watching you comb your hair, Clothed in a corset waist and skirt of silk, Tied with white braid above your slender hips Which reaches to your knees and makes your bare And delicate legs by contrast white as milk.

Excerpt: ...scarcely seen. You, standing between the window and the bed Are edged with rainbow colors. And I lie Drowsy with quizzical half-open eye Musing upon the contour of your head, Watching you comb your hair, Clothed in a corset waist and skirt of silk, Tied with white braid above your slender hips Which reaches to your knees and makes your bare And delicate legs by contrast white as milk. And as you toss your head to comb its tresses They flash upon me like long strips of sand Between a moonlit sea, pale as your hand, Pg 92 And a red sun that on a high dune stresses Its sanguine heat.

Yet I know now that we shall scarce have parted When I shall think of you half heavy hearted. I know our partings. You will faintly smile And look at me with eyes that have no guile, Or have too much, and pass into the sphere Where you keep independent life meanwhile. How do you live without me, is the fear? You do not lean upon me, ask my love, or wonder Of other loves I may have hidden under These casual renewals of our love. Pg 93 And if I loved you I should lie in flame, Ari, go about re-murmuring your name, And these are things a man should be above.
