Flamingo
Soaked
in red wine,
The
immaculate white plumage
Turned
into scarlet sanguine,
With a
pink, wild décolletage
Rounding
off the long, cuddling neck...
Flame-coloured:
such is your name,
Flamingo,
wading flares strew on water
Glide by
like flags brandished
By lost
lovers, about to drown─
Tarnished
by their blood:
Thick
red diluted into pink or
Rotting
orange instead...
