Composition With Birds
A poem for Friday
Translated by Alissa Valles
they encircled the world with barbed wire
the heart beating behind the windowpane
but we my brothers will sing to them
to the colored braids the square ribbons
beyond the crumbs and the round eyes
and beyond the predatory alien fingers
we will keep for them in our trembling beaks
a drop of love until the end of the world
What's Your Reaction?
