I. IMPROMPTUS by Solomon S. Drogin

66. Passion's torment

What is it, young man?
	What troubles you vexed?
Torn as a tiger's claws
	Rends the vitals of his kill?

What gnaws at your heart?
	What tears you restless
As a broody hen seeking a place
	To act and produce life?

The wind whips you
	the cold bites you
Your hair disheveled blown
	Your eyes with tired fever gleam

An end to this wearied spirit
	Let work dispel the gloom
But - ah - no - no - stop
	You shall live your desires
