Peace, the wild valley streaked with torrents,
\nA hoopoe perched on the warm rock. Then why
\nThis tremor of the straw between my fingers?<\/p>\n
What should I fear? Have I not testimony
\nIn her own hand, signed with her own name
\nThat my love fell as lightning on her heart?<\/p>\n
These questions, bird, are not rhetorical.
\nWatch how the straw twitches and leaps
\nAs though the earth quaked at a distance.<\/p>\n
Requited love; but better unrequited
\nIf this chance instrument gives warning
\nOf cataclysmic anguish far away.<\/p>\n
Were she at ease, warmed by the thought of me,
\nWould not my hand stay steady as this rock?
\nHave I undone her by my vehemence?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
