Free verse № 138312
Bondage
Apt shallowness delights you so.
To him your are
A weighty chain to bear.
And in the sweet curling sweet,
We spindle love from false love.
To round faced angels,
A weighty chain to bear.
I measure folly
And measure out mania.
But you take your fill
To see me starve in your wake.
This halves;
This quarters and bends.
What idle strapping lad
Who calls you from the trees
And sees you better than I.
It is a weighty chain to bear.
