Best Poems Written by Fulvia Lupulo

Yellow-Eyed Albatross

Along the alleys of my old village
a squalid dog followed me
flee-bitten, rabbit-faced

Give me some leavings, he whined
just a bit of left-over heart
I am starving to death.

I was coming from the poultry shop
so I gave him some chicken giblets.
He said, Now you are mine

since I ate your heart 
and he always, always follows me
ill-fated me!
