gershon hepner - wild nights!

Wild nights! Wild nights!
said Emily.
so femmeily,
demand your rights!

If you are masc-
ulin’
you win.
No need to ask!

Just keep on rowing
down streams
where dreams
are flowing.


Inspired by a poem by Emily Dickinson:

Wild Nights

Wild Nights! Wild Nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port, -
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart!

Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in Thee!
