A Squirrel Poem

I am a pretty squirrel
In my grey silk coat
Looking for a nut to eat
Looks like I missed the boat.

For Squirrel Nutkin and Squirrel Bobtail

'Forgive me
if you, my beloved,
my love, have died

All the leaves,
will fall on my breasts.

It will rain on my soul,
All day, all night.

My feet will want to march,
to where you are sleeping.

but I must go on living.'

Taken from a translation of the poem, ‘The Dead Woman’, by Pablo Neruda
