And the tiger trapped in the cage of his skin,

Watchful over creation, rests

For the blood to pound, the drums to begin,

Till the tigress’ shadow casts

A darkness over him, a passion, a scent,

The world goes turning, turning, the season

Sieves earth to its one sure element

And the blood beats beyond reason.

Then quiet, and birds folding their wings,

The new moon waiting for years to be stared at here,

The season sinks to satisfied things–

Man with his mind ajar.

WORLD I HAVE NOT MADE
