Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spendUpon thy self thy beauty's legacy?Nature's bequest gives nothing, but doth lend,And being frank she lends to those are free:Then, beauteous niggard, why dost thou abuseThe bounteous largess given thee to give?Profitless usurer, why dost thou useSo great a sum of sums, yet canst not live?For having traffic with thy self alone,Thou of thy self thy sweet self dost deceive:Then how when nature calls thee to be gone,What acceptable audit canst thou leave?Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee,Which, used, lives th' executor to be.
I wake up in your bed. I know I have been dreaming.Much earlier, the alarm broke us from each other,You've been at your desk for hours. I know what I dreamed:our friend the poet comes into my roomwhere I've been writing for days,drafts, carbons, poems are scattered everywhere,and I want to show her one poemwhich is the poem of my life. But I hesitate, and wake. You've kissed my hairto wake me. I dreamed you were a poem, I say, a poem I wanted to show someone...and I laugh and fall dreaming againof the desire to show you to everyone I love,to move openly togetherin the pull of gravity, which is not simple,which carries the feathered grass a long way down the upbreathing air.
