[I. hunger bigger than a slumber]
She use to wake up early, and there’s nothing you can do.
A hunger bigger than a slumber is consuming her tranquillity,
and every you.
“Give it up, Elitza, time to eat, don’t despear, fit it in.
My bowl, I mean.
With food.
Starving here, and your foot, the left, is not that tasty,
Actually, it’s kinda lenten fare,
could have been a blessing, if it was a jelly pop
of meat and rare
type of grass, which I’d call a blast,
if it tasted like the one I tried
this summer at a property of mine,
here, in this town, that doesn’t let itself
be liked.
Up, I say,
or you will see me dark!
I’ll fly into a rage
and would be hard to recognize
my customary face of kindness & polite
disaster…
Love you much, but don’t exhaust me.
*******
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh, the fish is dainty (though a half an hour later)!
Morning, sun! My meal is here!
She is finally a working bee
on the table with a cup of coffee,
almonds, may be, or a tea,
and the day’s about to spin.
Let the romp begin!”
/from “Days with Vincy”/
[II. A whisper softer than a teardrop]
A whisper softer than a teardrop
is ticklelin’ my ear on and on,
she says she loves to cradle
the slightest fluster
she perceives around.
Purrrrr purrrr purrrrr
Purrrrr…
“Disquietedness is not my crony,
my purring can defeat afflictions,
woes of any sort,
it is your brainy fellow
when your story
is not the one you ever
wish to know.
It’s tenderer than the finest murmur
of drizzling in a cozy autumn day at noon,
I promise it will keep aloof the storm intruder
that scrabbles on your mind as if it was
a toon*.”
A whisper softer than a teardrop
is tickelin’ my ear on and on….
Her tiny head is bending on my showder
And easyness is all around.
* a toon tree, commonly known as redcedar
