"Night"

____________________

Needs most

happily mutual,

this given,

that taken,

the board clear,

and the food

reappears as

one after one

the night finds

persons in a

lovely particular

display. Here

is a street, and

now a car seems

to be coming,

the lights

signal approach at

an intersection when

a locked group

beats upon the

locked door an

inextricable tenderness

of one man’s

desire to be there.
