Sonnet 115 - All we were going strong last night this time

 All we were going strong last night this time,
the mosts were flying & the frozen daiquiris
were downing, supine on the floor lay Lise
listening to Schubert grievous & sublime,
my head was frantic with a following rime:
it was a good evening, and evening to please,
I kissed her in the kitchen -ecstasies-
among so much good we tamped down the crime.


The weather's changing.
 This morning was cold,
as I made for the grove, without expectation,
some hundred Sonnets in my pocket, old,
to read her if she came.
 Presently the sun
yellowed the pines & my lady came not
in blue jeans & a sweater.
 I sat down & wrote.
