Of
all the iron beds in paradise
yours
was the most cruel
and
I was smoke in your mirror
and
you sluiced your hair with jade,
but
you were a woman and I was a
boy,
but boy enough for an iron bed
and
man enough for wine
and
you.
now
I am a man,
man
enough for all,
and
you are, you
are
old
not
now so cruel,
now
your iron bed
is
empty.
