Puedo Escribir

© Pablo Neruda

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.Escribir, por ejemplo: 'La noche está estrellada,
y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos.'El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta.Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.
Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso.En las noches como ésta la tuve entre mis brazos.
La besé tantas veces bajo el cielo infinito.Ella me quiso, a veces yo también la quería.

Piccolo Valzer Viennese

© Benjamin Jonson

A Vienna ci sono dieci ragazze,
una spalla dove piange la morte
e un bosco di colombe disseccate.
C'e' un frammento del mattino
nel museo della brina.

Polish Flowers

© Julian Tuwim

A box with paints from childhood's time:
The colors of town are earth and grime.
An old worker at a dark doorway squats,
The spuds in his bowl are powdery dry.
It's a face of yellowish and gray spots
In the midst of hunger, cold, dirt and slime.

Progress of Advice

© William Shenstone

Says Richard to Thomas (and seem'd half afraid)
"I'm thinking to marry thy mistress's maid;
Now, because Mrs. Lucy to thee is well known,
I will do't if thou bidst me, or let it alone.

Past and Future

© Sarojini Naidu

The new hath come and now the old retires:
And so the past becomes a mountain-cell,
Where lone, apart, old hermit-memories dwell
In consecrated calm, forgotten yet
Of the keen heart that hastens to forget
Old longings in fulfilling new desires.

I look for the way
things will turn
out spiralling from a center,
the shape
things will take to come forth in

Poverty

© Paul Hamilton Hayne

A ruthless hag, the image of woeful dearth
Or brute despair, gnawing its own starved heart.
Thou ravening wretch! fierce-eyed and monster-lipped,
Why scourge forevermore God's beauteous earth?

Pigtail

© Tadeusz Ròzewicz

When all the women in the transport
had their heads shaved
four workmen with brooms made of birch twigs
swept up
and gathered up the hair
