Emotional, XIX
By Michael Strange (Blanche Oelrichs) (1890–1950)(From Resurrecting Life, 1921) I AM resting by the edge of the sea— | |
| But in my arm is a curve imperceptible | |
| For the weight of your head—lover—comrade— | |
| My feet are damp with the vigorous jet of the sea— | |
| My body is splashed in a sudden pour of sunlight | 5 |
| Spreading down now in widening—blazing torrents— | |
| From behind the pushed-away clouds— | |
| Yet I long to be chilled—warmed—and surpassing these— | |
| And by our limbs co-mingling lover—comrade. | |
