flying Away

Cyanotype, Belen Islas

Fragmento  del poema Migración de  Pablo Neruda

Todo el día una línea,
un escuadrón de plumas,
un navío 
palpitaba en el aire,
atravesaba
el pequeño infinito
de la ventana desde donde busco,
interrogo, trabajo, acecho, aguardo.

Fragment of Migration by Pablo Neruda
translation:  Jack Schmitt

All day column after column,
a squadron of feathers,
a fluttering airborne
ship
crossed
the tiny infinity
of the window where I research,
question, work, observe, wait.
