graduation poem

if i had known how narrow a prison is love
what do i owe to you
beneath my window in a city street
of sun nor stars
i am weary of being bitter and weary of being wise
shades of night were falling fast
behold me, in my chiffon, gauze and tinsel
sweet splendor
a thin gray shadow on the edge of thought
my sorrow, when she's here with me
though love repine, and reason chafe
one with you
a flying word from here and there
there is a country full of wine
