Darling, as Germans say, is tot,*
But español I’ll emote.
One moment she was just fine,
But now on the ground she reclines.
By a stroke I think she’s smote—
There’s type A inside her throat.

On my knees, knees, knees
(Entonces, una genuflexión yo hago)
To determine what my eye sees
(Mi ojo mira su garganta, no su nariz).
Were I a vampire, it’s a snack
(Comería si vampiro)
I’d relish in the buccal crack
(Me encantaría la boca).
Synaptic message-tote
(Por las mensajes. . .seguir):
Should I taste her bloody throat?
(¿Me debo gustar sangrante?)

Should I taste her bloody throat now?
Should I taste her bloody throat now?
It’s a rosy red and bubbles;
If I taste, I might have doubles.
Maybe I’ll have just a mote
That strays from her bloody throat?

But indigestion might bug me
(¿Tendría indigestión?. . .pregunta).
This might for me not the meal be
(Quizás esto no es para mi).
Such action just might seem unseemly
(Tal vez es malo hacer);
I approach decision fitfully
(Cautela en la cabeza).
I’ll have to take a vote
(El voto voy a seguir):
Should I taste her bloody throat?
(¿Como garganta sangrante?)

Should I taste her bloody throat now?
(¿Yo me como? me pregunto.)
Indecision gives me troubles
(En el cerebro: peligro);
It’s as if I’m Hamlet’s double
(Por Hamlet you soy el doble.)
On resolve I do not dote
(Difícil a decidir).
Decisions made are not rote
(¿Soy firme? Repuesta: no!)
