_Thoughts_

Stranger to the picture window outside that
 I seem to be seeing, distant to the
traffic Of nobodies and every bodies. Silent, to The passage of every hour gone 
and Seeking, seeking the rest for the forlorn. If I am alive, if being, if this 
destiny I can not ever escape. Traveling in a pain that seeks only rest. Now, content
in my lover’s arms, my sadness that Inter-mingled With his splendid body I grope
to forget society’s sway — and I won’t die, and I won’t forget.

June fifteenth is another day that has sped by mesmerizing
 Even myself when All
too soon this change in mood quickens to his tread; All Sunlight, bountifully encompasses
me, and this Trivial body. Once, the stranger to the picture window outside I seem
to have seen now, within.
