In Uncertainty to a Lady
József Rippl-Rónai, Woman in a black hat, 1918
 
In Uncertainty to a Lady, i am not one of those who sip,
Like a quotidian bock,
Cheap idylls from a languid lip
Prepared to yawn or mock.

I wait the indubitable word,
The great Unconscious Cue.
Has it been spoken and unheard?
Spoken, perhaps, by you ...?
