FIRST YEAR

FIRST YEAR
Oh, Tom, I'm wearing my lucky pants in the reading room
but you still turn away. Come back. I'd like one night with you.
I'd like every slow day in your arms. I can't read this Bible;
I'm taking my time but the lines run away into the rain.
I'm a cat on an ice box longing too much to touch your hair.

///

PRIMEIRO ANO

Ó, Tom, estou com as minhas calças da sorte na sala de leitura
mas ainda estás longe. Regressa. Gostaria de estar uma noite contigo.
Gostaria de passar os dias lentos nos teus braços. Não posso ler esta Bíblia;
aproveito o tempo mas as linhas fogem-me para a chuva.
Sou uma gata numa caixa de gelo desejando muito acariciar o teu cabelo.

by Carole BROMLEY, in "POETRY NEWS" - The Newspaper of The Poetry Society, Spring 2019
