A Face to a Name (2): "C.S. Lewis"





Sorry! but in order to tout love from every side
  I won't come to it stilly

Heart's red and porous so I said to myself,
  pushing into place

that I thought of nothing more than to be
 like him 'Don't leave!'

See, Jack loved his Helen, and he grieved
  and made himself tall

So I tried my best, too, unobserved, to
  look tallish, like him

If C.S. Lewis can, then up the stairs I'd
  bound along, in my vest,

in order to reach the dark of her portholed
  door, the soft expulsion
