The Pig
Translation
by Leoncio P. Deriada
I am willing to be a pig
Provided my
pen is your arms.
As long as
you feed me
With your
smile and kiss
Morning,
afternoon.
It is easy
to make me fat.
Your
promise
Not to
abandon me
Is the
vitamins
I take.
And during
nighttime
It’s your
touch
On my back
and breast
That can
make me snore.
