How the granite is covered in ice - Boris Ryzhy

How the granite is covered in ice,

and a frost lies on the ground –

This town, frosted with memories,

I want to leave it for ever.

Outside the curtains the rain is murmering - Li Yu

Outside the curtains the rain is murmering,
And spring is waning,
Silk bedding cannot resist the fifth watch cold.

Quiet - Petar Tchouhov

Our mothers are missing –

went out to buy

something delicious

and haven’t come back

Peasant Love Songs - George Cosbuc

I.

  He

In the garden of my sweetheart

Sing two birds beautifully,

And the sun proudly shines,

And my darling sits and dreams.

One Alone - Amir Hamzah

Formed in your heart, this was your will:

Rain in cataracts, hurricanes unleashed,

All foundering, engulfed—

Your luxuriant garden now a mere ruin.

The Water Mirror - Vicente Huidobro

My mirror, a current in the nights,

Becomes a brook and leaves my room.

Rain Rain Go Away - Farhan Ejat

Rain rain go away

Come again another day

Come in June or come in May

But please don’t come, not today

I Write with Words That Have Shadow but Don’t Shelter - Guillermo Sucre

I write with words that have shadow but don’t shelter

no sooner do I start this page insomnia burns it

Cannibal - Léon Laleau

This savage wish on certain days

To mingle blows and blood

With love's motions,

A Riddle - Tedi López Mills

Now they kill them:

see the corpse

bloated in the ditch.

Now they banish them from the city:

see them running towards the tollbooth
