I wake to laughter
your smile, those beautiful eyes
mine dare not open

Tiempo
Caressing the unwilling hand
Time pulls childhood
towards a luminous edge

humming birds recognise
the scent of childhood fears

Translation of Tiempo by Alejandra Pizarnik (1936 / 1972). Other and far better translations are available from professional translators, such as Dr Cecci Rossi, who ran a translation games workshop today. This is my effort.

Our Father

then all four appear
white, red, black and pale shadows
spare me these night mares
