Fool's Pride
Fool you are to find me again only for this
The shredding of the prism in the heart
The tearing of settled consolation apart
For it was only one night of frenzied heat
That piled us, drained us, emptied our sheet
Kissed me cold and trembling in the mist.
Fool I am to think a spot would change
Its lepeord, and yield me grass for home
The gate sees a stranger when we rome
For we cannot return as we went out still
But nothing breaks my old battered will
For I can hate as much as I love the strange
Fool we are with passion's white energy
Unburned, and yet was you who taught me
The bed is perpetuous unless we kiss, free
Of inhibition tumbling down the pain set
Against us now, too far to drip as foggy wet
And fool's pride brought in the tragedy
