Two English Poems
Words, any words, your laughter; and you so lazily and incessantly beautiful. We talked and you have forgotten the words. ... Your profile turned away, the sounds that go to make your name, the lilt of your laughter: these are the illustrious toys you have left me. ... I must get at you, somehow; I put away those illustrious toys you have left me, I want your hidden look, your real smile -- that lonely, mocking smile your cool mirror knows.
