lines for Nora

give me visions from your heart
else i might ponder where to start. .
inklings cast by hooded eyes
only deepen your disguise. . .
nor anyone among the crowd
can guess what hides inside
your cloistered heart
which wounded harshly
heals so slow. . .
and who among
the fools cast out
might know
what thing they did. ..

nor anyone but you. . .
1983
