To: Anne Killigrew

'nor did her sex' fall
nor did her lips ascend
to mine quite lost
for boys who are haunted
(before the yes is said)

yes the display of strong
yes love is taught to children
it is known they say 'love'
but they are just young tears
borrowed from the sparkle of her eyes
such things are born alive

sex is not her name
