Poesia kaiera
Aspaldiko amodiozko poema
Belar onduak
zeruak lurrari dion maitasunaren
usaina zuen.
Nire saihetsetako mina zinen zu
xixtaka zebilkidana
deskargaturiko orgen ondorioz.
Hilek
atalase bat betetzen zuten
haraindiko bistarekin.
Etxea zinen zu
aranondoaren azpiko kandela
eta ene eternitatea.
Old Love Poem
The hay / smelt of how / the sky loved the earth. / You were the pain in my ribs / aching / from the carts unloaded. // The dead / were filling a doorway / with the view beyond. / You were the house / the candle under the plum tree / and my eternity.
