Second Love

“So surely is she mine,” you say, and turn

Your quick and steady mind to harder things—

To bills and bonds and talk of what men earn—

And whistle up the stair, of evenings.

And do you see a dream behind my eyes,

Or ask a simple question twice of me—

“Thus women are,” you say; for men are wise

And tolerant, in their security.

How shall I count the midnights I have known

When calm you turn to me, nor feel me start,

To find my easy lips upon your own

And know my breast beneath your rhythmic heart.

Your god defer the day I tell you this:

My lad, my lad, it is not you I kiss!
