I wait and weigh the odds
of me being who feeds
and feeds and scrolls through
feeds feeding on grey

You Want Me Daybreak

April 15, 2019 Issue 17, Issue 17 Poetry, Poetry, Translation

By ALFONSINA STORNI

Translated by NICHOLAS FRIEDMAN

You want me daybreak,
you want me sea-spray,
you want me pearl-like.
You want me lilywhite
and, above all, chaste—
my perfume faint,
my petals shut tight.
