"Was it unforgivable,
"My darling, that you loved me?"
---J. V. Cunningham, "To What Strangers. What Welcome," 14
What error on my part can you uncover
in those few days she gave to me to love her.
I did no wrong to anyone, no blame
can be attributed, and hence, no shame.
You violated our pure privacy
like peeping toms steeped in perversity,
and brought this rupture on to her and me.
(Was it because she is so Beautiful
and has such sheer effect upon the soul
that can compose, for her, pure poetry,
and lay it at her bare or stockinged feet?
Are you provoked that you cannot compete
with that?) Ruse takes the short term, truth the long;
expedience is, often, proven wrong.

Since the early 80's, I have admired and studied the Cunningham poem cited supra. I never, in even the wildest imagination, thought I should experience parts of it here.
I can see why he might never speak of it warmly. |

 reports, 1d 6h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
