いつの頃からか続く、就寝前の習慣。
別に大したことではないけれど消灯前、ベッドの中で日記を1日分または詩を1編、ゆっくりゆっくり読むというもので、今は毎晩これを読んでいる。
E・E・カミングスはアメリカ合衆国の詩人、作家、画家。
第一次世界大戦中はフランスで救急隊の任務務にあたり、3カ月間拘留キャンプで過ごしている。
その時のことを書いたのが自伝的小説"The Enormous Room"。
以下は"erotic poems"から、昨晩読んだ1編。
特に好きな作品です。
may i feel said he
(i'll squeal said she
just once said he)

(may i touch said he
how much said she

(let's go said he
not too far said she
what's too far said he

may i stay said he
(which way said she
like this said he
if you kiss said she
may i move said he

(but you're killing said she
but it's life said he
