The same hair you flirt with

Fingers in hair you flirt with flair, 
Feel fine in fair romantic air, 
Why then this sneer on face
And concealed suppressed stress? 
What floats in soup’s her piece of hair.

Rare are bucks loud that bang

What all likes lets, such a luck’s rare,
Plugs all panic, such a pluck’s rare,
Rare are bucks that give loudest bang,
Cool with lake’s muck, such a duck’s rare.

She slept, slept her daily wage

For children’s maw a woman slept,
When not, wage and daily bun slept.

In hope that at late last he’d come,
Windows, leaving doors open, slept.

The night, shadowy more than shy,
On spreading her dark omen, slept.

‘I need none whoso in all world’, 
My pride, in death all undone, slept.

Dog-tired, enduring my burden,
Me all awake, my divan slept.
