Carmen looks like a little old wife
now used to what comes in her life.
But her turkey mate stomps,
he’ll split the earth
because that’s the way he makes love.

His wing cuts the thick air,
the blood bubbles red in his wattles.
A few little feathers,
separate and downy
spot the knife being whetted.

Translated from Bulgarian by Valentin Krustev
