"Acrostic from Aegina" Anemones you brought back from the path Nod in a glass beside our rumpled bed. Now you are far away. In the -aftermath Even these flowers arouse my sleepy head. Love when I think of the ready look in your eyes Erotas that would make these stone walls blush Nerves me to write away the mornings hush. Nadir of longing and the red -anemones Over the lucent rim-my poor designs X-rated praise Ive hidden between these lines.
