THE NIGHT BEFORE MORNING
George Bowering

With it all over
and you & I
in separate beds
in separated houses,

I think of
Troilus & Cressida
cursing the sun-
rise from their hurricaned bed;

he to clatter away
on his army horse,
she to pick
her sunny way home--

you & I
with nothing touching
but our private thoughts:
mine of poetry,
yours of a strong morning.
