    “Swiftly in the nights,
    In the porches of Key West,

    You come tormenting.”

    To speak of what you see. But wait
    Until sight wakens the sleepy eye
    And pierces the physical fix of things.”

    “Call the roller of big cigars,
    The muscular one, and bid him whip
    In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.”
