How sick — to wait — in any place — but thine –
I knew last night — when someone tried to twine –
Thinking — perhaps — that I looked tired — or alone –
Or breaking — almost — with unspoken pain –
And I turned — ducal –
That right — was thine –
One port — suffices — for a Brig — like mine –
Ours be the tossing — wild though the sea –
Rather than a Mooring — unshared by thee.
Ours be the Cargo — unladed — here –
Rather than the “spicy isles –”
And thou — not there –

Perhaps I asked too large –
I take — no less than skies –
For Earths, grow thick as
Berries, in my native town –
My Basket holds — just — Firmaments –
Those — dangle easy — on my arm,
But smaller bundles — Cram.
