In Praise of Shame by Lord Alfred Douglas

Last night
I thought I came
and went
dreams-strange
fire-poured
in
eyes burning
fame-floating
shape-taking
I walk
with love
but cold lips
are hard

Lovely
is thy name
radiation
dressing
flutes
and laughing
pompously
passion
passing through
the white-phantom-ship
nights
here’s
my song
of Shame
