I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. — Anais Nin

    Peacock Display


    He approaches her, trailing his whole fortune,
    Perfectly cocksure, and suddenly spreads
    The huge fan of his tail for her amazement.

    Each turquoise and purple, black-horned, walleyed quill
    Comes quivering forward, an amphitheatric shell
    For his most fortunate audience: her alone.

    He plumes himself. He shakes his brassily gold
    Wings and rump in a dance, lifting his claws
    Stiff-legged under the great bulge of his breast.

    And she strolls calmly away, pecking and pausing,
    Not watching him, astonished to discover
    All these seeds spread just for her in the dirt.


    ~ David Wagoner ~

I lost myself on a cool damp night I gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree
