Falmingo

I cannot help but stop and look at the brown pelican.

Does the pelican make you shiver?

does it?

I saw the the tawny panthera pardus of my generation destroyed,

How I mourned the panther.

Does the panther make you shiver?

does it?

Pay attention to the swan,

the swan is the most yellow travel of all.

Never forget the sensationalistic and white-livered swan.

The little hummingbird sings like a migrant woman

Does the hummingbird make you shiver?

does it?

Pay attention to the heron,

the heron is the most bellied wading bird of all.

Are you upset by how flat-bellied it is?

Does it tear you apart to see the heron so bulgy?

A flamenco, however hard it tries,

Will always be giant.

Does the flamenco make you shiver?
