Poesia kaiera
Gaur
O! kanguruak, lentejuelak, txokolatezko sodak!
Benetan zarete ederrak! Perlak,
harmonikak, gominolak, aspirinak! Betidanik hizpide
izan dituzten gauza horiek guztiek
oraindik txundigarri bihurtzen dute poema bat!
Gauzok egunero daude gurekin
are zubi-buru eta andetan. Izan
badute esanahia. Arrokak bezain trinkoak dira.
Today
Oh! kangaroos, sequins, chocolate sodas! / You really are beautiful! Pearls, / harmonicas, jujubes, aspirins! all / the stuff they’ve always talked about // still makes a poem a surprise! / These things are with us every day / even on beachheads and biers. They / do have meaning. They’re strong as rocks.
