THOU SHALT COVET

How craven! How chicken-hearted!

My milky-calved darling, my precious

Ultramarine lorikeet!  Lapis lazuli

Peahen all clumped and hissing,

Thatched tongue churning!  I am

Your begrimed rooster, your

Bug-eyed chanticleer…  Beware

My curved claws, my love-spurs,

My squawking wings!  Who are you

To resist my love spool?  My yolk

Song?  My bodacious feather creams? 

Nuzzle with me.  Strut and enter

My bower.
