Pigeon
“
In Amorous Creeping by Stewart Stafford
I scaled a trellis in randy pursuit,
A rose in teeth for my paramour,
A thorn lurking by a naked stem,
Palmy, engorged and prescient.
A pigeon said to douse my ardour,
A talkative fowl, plainly no pidgin,
Snorts for this priggish counsel,
Blind shoots, driving me upward.
A wriggling worm to her chamber,
Inside I crept as she lay sleeping,
Sweeping a spectral sheet off her,
To lay until the dawn chorus sings.

¿Sabes por qué te quiero? No sabía que estaba perdido hasta que me encontraste. No sabía lo solo que me encontraba hasta la primera noche que pasé sin ti en mi casa. Eres lo único que he hecho bien. Eres todo lo que he estado esperando, Pigeon.
