this is just to say

This is just to say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

                 Esto es sólo para decir

                 Me he comido
                 las ciruelas
                 que se encontraban en
                 la nevera

                 y que
                 que probablemente
                 tu guardabas
                 para el desayuno

                 Perdóname
                 estaban deliciosas
                 tan dulces
                 y tan frías
