I stole a poem today,
Found it pressed between leaves
Of a book in a store
Filled with a thousand books
None of which I cared about.
It leapt out at me
Like lightning or fire,
Struck something, and settled.
(I left without buying.)
Now I wonder
If the poem in me
This wild, half-known thing,
more feeling than thought,
Was once caught in words,
Chained down to a page.
I am afraid to check.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
U ar a talent, truly.
