Poetry Thursday

XX

Es verdad que el ambar contiene
las lagrimas de las sirenas?

Como se llama una flor
que vuela de pajaro en pajaro?

No es mejor nunca que tarde?

Y por que el queso se dispuso
a ejercer proezas en Francia?

-Pablo Neruda
El libro de preguntas

traduccion:

Is it true that amber contains
the tears of the sirens?

What do they call the flower
that flies from bird to bird?

Isn't it better never than late?

And why did cheese decide
to perform heroic deeds in France?

-Pablo Neruda
The Book of Questions
translated by William O'Daly

And... happy thanksgiving, if you celebrate that holiday ... and if not (or if you do, too), may you acknowledge abundance.

One more T-day gift, my latest Sade favorite song:
