The Curve Of Your Eyes
The curve of your eyes embraces my heart
A ring of sweetness and dance
halo of time, sure
nocturnal
cradle,
And if I no longer know all I have lived through
It's that your eyes have not always been mine.

She went that evening from the abbey gray,
Her task
committing
to another's hand;
-- Left it to Fraud to feed, till her return,
The war, and make the fires she kindled burn;
XXVII
And she believed, that she with greater power
Should go, did Pride with her as well repair;
And she (for all were guested in one bower)
In search of her had little way to fare.

Roaming the illimitable waters round;
Here watch, of every human friend disowned,
All day, my ready tomb the ocean-flood--

That

from gardens thinned,

Of sunless dry geraniums
And dust in crevices,
Smells of chestnuts in the streets
And female smells in shuttered rooms
And cigarettes in corridors
And
cocktail
smells in bars.

And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card,
