Love Poem: Erratic Pecking

Erratic Pecking

I am utterly distracted by the erratic
Pecking of the field mouse
That has found living with me to his advantage.
Still I want to write

That poem
That will make children laugh
Old men roll in the grass with lovers
And young women run in the streets naked

Singing Hallelujah.
I wait to meet you in the midnight of time
To scare the monsters with our passion.
