Emmanuel Caballero Poems
As you bend to touch
The gypsy girl
Who waits for you in the hedge
Her loose dress falls open.
...
Simply to have stopped.
As if I could begin
where my voice has stopped, myself
...
I found a pigeon's skull on the machair,
All the bones pure white and dry, and chalky,
But perfect,
Without a crack or a flaw anywhere.
...
The Best Poem Of Emmanuel Caballero
Sunstruck Foxglove
As you bend to touch
The gypsy girl
Who waits for you in the hedge
Her loose dress falls open.
Midsummer ditch-sickness!
Flushed, freckled with earth-fever,
Swollen lips parted, her eyes closing,
A lolling armful, and so young! Hot
Among the insane spiders.
You glimpse the reptile under-speckle
Of her sunburned breasts
And your head swims. You close your eyes.
Can the foxes talk? Your head throbs.
Remember the bird's tolling echo,
The dripping fern roots, and the butterfly touches
That woke you
Remember your mother's
Long, dark dugs.
Her silky body a soft oven
For loaves of pollen.
