And I Lounged and Lay on Their Beds

 

When I went to that house of pleasure

I didn’t stay in the front rooms where they celebrate,

with some decorum, the accepted modes of love.

 

I went into the secret rooms

and lounged and lay on their beds.

 

I went into the secret rooms

considered shameful even to name.

But not shameful to me—because if they were,

what kind of poet, what kind of artist would I be?

I’d rather be an ascetic. That would be more in keeping,

much more in keeping with my poetry,

than for me to find pleasure in the commonplace rooms.

I have a ravenous tiger within me

which always waits for me

and I for her,

I hate her and she hates me, and she wants to kill me

but i hope that she will become friendly

with time.

 

She has her teeth on my heart, her claws on my mind

and for my own sake

I fight for her

And she makes me hate all the good things in this world

so that i can sing to her with the deepest of sorrows.

 

She forces me to cross mountains, valleys and chasms

in order to embrace her

in the wildest of dances,

And when, at cold nights, she remembers her cages

she lends me her pelt

to wear.

 

And when sometimes we lie drunk,

almost in peace,

so that each one can sleep,

this still silence is like the one before the storm,

like the final moment

before she attacks.
