On Gifts For Grace

分类: 英语诗歌 
by Bernadette Mayer

    I saw a great teapot

    I wanted to get you this stupendous

    100% cotton royal blue and black checked shirt,

    There was a red and black striped one too

    Then I saw these boots at a place called Chuckles

    They laced up to about two inches above your ankles

    All leather and in red, black or purple

    It was hard to have no money today

    I won't even speak about the possible flowers and kinds of lingerie

    All linen and silk with not-yet-perfumed laces

    Brilliant enough for any of the Graces

    Full of luxury, grace notes, prosperousness and charm

    But I can only praise you with this poem-

    Its being is the same as the meaning of your name
