Work tires Poem by Daniel Samoilovich

Work tires



Standing still in the afternoon
In the air among tall roses
Requires precision, concentration:
The humming bird also tires.
It clutches low weeds,
Bends them to the ground
And remains belly up, drunk,
Gripping to its daliah.

Translated by Andrew Graham-Yooll
