"Anticipation"
I have been temperate always,
but I am like to be very drunk
with your coming.
There have been times
I feared to walk down the street
lest I should reel with the wine of you,
and jerk against my neighbors
as they go by.
I am parched now, and my tongue is horrible in my mouth,
but my brain is noisy
with the clash and gurgle of filling wine cups.
