PLEA – 25 mar 02

 

I know I was presumptuous, that achieve

The gorgeous face the whimsical presented

In that night of summer, to believe -----

Was but a breach of trust and you resented

 

In such a way that you'd feel inclined

To tell nothing was meant, but a face

You'd shown everyone, unsigned

By any hidden message, not a grace.

 

And that you intended writing back no more,

So that I would quite understand

That you'd recant, sidestep, disclaim.

 

But that you should simply ignore!

That all my dreams you would just blend

With dried leaves swept down by rain.

THE MODEL IN THE ILLUSTRATION WAS IDENTIFIED AS AMIA SOLLIS.
