THE THOUGHTFUL LOVER

Deny yourself all
half things. Have it
or leave it.

But it will keep — or
it is not worth
the having.

Never start
anything you can't
finish — However do not lose
faith because you
are starved!

She loves you
she says. Believe it — tomorrow.

But today
the particulars
of poetry

that difficult art
require
your whole attention.
