The Love Poems
of Honniker Winkley


Piggy Pie, Oval Moon

Dismounting, drinking your wine
I ask where you are going.
You say, "I've not met my goals
And return to recline on the slopes of South Mountain."
Just go. We'll say no more --
White clouds go on without end.
--Li Po

Piggy Pie, oval moon
Red boat floating backward
By distant lands, grey beyond looming mountains;
Two travelers rest alone, sacks lowered:
On hanky spread the pungent madness,
Pear 'n pig.

Oval moon -- biting teeth
Sharing pie -- two friends
Once mounted here in farewell
Evening quickens;
Too suddenly you are vanished.
Returning to my churning garden
Sucking bone alone.

On to Autumn, 1898
