A Feeling On the Following Night
I cannot sleep oh!
Sleep well.
Let’s leave right
now, O love!
Into the street and
eavesdrop…
What the
professors, the
fellow poet,
And the editor say
About my true secret
feelings conveyed to
you
At times, in an
unattempted verse
Ah! Breaking
traditions, old
customs in Art.
And move on
secretly and slowly,
Unnoticed by the
dogs barking
beneath the lamp-
posts
And listen by their
window,
Do the lovers laid in
bed
Whisper in each
other’s ears—
Quote our lines,
reference our poems,
And pretend as ours
their love!
Have gone public!
Oh! Have gone public
Today, sometimes to
my will,
Sometimes not!
