Thanks for posting Crapsey's "The Witch" and "Song", Mary. I might have to read more of her.
Here's another Johnquain, or, at least it rhymes. The wit may have fallen by the wayside since I tried to have a serious topic.
One Time, Forever
She ate
The fruit, and he
Took some as well. Now we
Must face a jealous God who loves
No more.
She had
A weekend fling
That claimed her wedding ring.
Her former husband says she was
A whore.
Some joys
Are far too great
Both Gods and we can't wait
To punish for all time for once
Before.
