The Love Poems
of Honniker Winkley

"...Love Likes a Gander and Adores a Goose..."

The goose-girl cannot hear the goose
A-honking in her grasp:
"Embrace me truculent gosling
Ere time fluffs our down
And serves us plucked upon the platter;
Spread the tender thighs,
The wet, webbed lilies ..."
Willing and whitefeathered,
The peach-cheeked goose-girl
With heavy fertile girth
Trundles him like spring
Rocking, rocking on her fulcrum.

Somewhere lost fowl impatiently pace.

No sky.
No moon.
Only grey clouds trouble morning,
And the long unwinking eye
Of the spent and cold-beaked gander.

On to Piggy Pie, Oval Moon
