A Companion : the translation

A Companion

This companion,

is a long-distance bird,

a bird of long journeys,

a bird of many changing colors and many clothes.

His small body is simply carried off

by fierce onshore winds.

Persistently thrashed

till rain-soaked

to the bone,

is this fragile bird.

In blustery winds, full of anger,

the forces mean nothing to him.

Indelibly etched in his memory,

is the correct flight path.

Till he lands in my back yard.

Indelibly etched in his memory

are his favorite spots,

where he gorges

on plump, juicy worms,

filling him to the gills.

Mmmm, so onolicious !
