Lightly - Ángela Hernández Núñez

In innocence, eternity is possible.

But I have loved in haste,
with the attentiveness of objects that fly away.
I find myself saying, close the doors.

After having you - Carlos Bahr

After having you,
What reason is there to think of time,
how many hours have passed or remain?

I hope so much - Mas'ud-i Sa'd-i Salmān

I am a fallen person in a thousand sorrows
In each breath my life's looking to end

Separation - Iqbal Tamimi

She sketched him in the froth of her coffee,
Hoping he would never leave.
She could not turn off the siren
Or the storm that leapt
Inside her cup.
She saw soldiers
Chasing him down the track,
Ordering him to surrender.
The shackles howled;
There was no turning back.

Tongue - Lee Jang-wook

Put out your tongue.
I’ll give you a lump of sugar.
Every time something reaches your soft stomach from enamel teeth
a process of transformation is required
in order to maximize its nutritional value,
to make everything one.

The Mother the Woman - Martinus Nijhoff

that in the past appeared to avoid each other,
are again neighbors. But in the few moments

And nothing remains - Fadwa Tuqan

We are together tonight,
But you'll be hidden from me tomorrow
By the cruelty of this life.

I have loved thee - Bedros Tourian

It was the hour of dew and light;
In heaven a conflagration cold
Of roses burned, instead of clouds;
There was a rain of pearls and gold.

Whirlwind - José Rótulo

I live not knowing how I can resist
This fever that clings to your love.
They are whirlwinds with your name and my madness,
with your laugh and my bitterness, that torture my being.

Spring Beginning - Po Chü-i

The snow melts, days are each time hotter,
