But Be My Love and Be Only Mine
Well! Believe the pathetic liars!
Or listen to the stylish scoundrel—
Whose speech’s so harmonious
And Ah! Tone as wine!
Leave your long braid dance
As the charmer’s snake,
Or dishevel fly
As in the ancient paintings the flying fairies…
Or Claw or Bun or Knot
Or loop as the sparrows’ nest
Or reverse as the nomadic maids.
Well! Wear on the thick oily thighs tight trousers
As the white women in west
Wear high heals, and on roadsides Cat-walk.
Or dress as a Japanese Girl gymnast
Or the ancient Greek women wrestlers slapping their big hips.
And or let your big bosom bulge
Or with breeze as ripe melons shake
And then! Tell the tired traveler, am I fine!
But be my love and be only mine!
As all dear admire the unchanging pine!
