Like lips behind a veil The poppies rest under the oats Lips parting in sleep, As though night were hot about them, Touching the souls they speak for with sensual fires; These lips not petals.
But here it is summer morning, Cool after the pride-shower; The smoke goes up in prayer from the village, And the hills are monks stooping under a hood of mist. This surely is a virgin moment.
