we’re going up-mountain tomorrow to pick coffee for a couple days. last visit, our hosts Tomas & Elvira said since we were poets, we needed to write a poem about coffee. i did. this is the first time i’ve written a poem on assignment since i went back to college in 1971. a gringo friend translated it into Spanish, and i interloped our verses - does this make me an international poet? Owed to Coffee Standing on Coffee Estando de pie en montana de Coffee cherries red Cerezas rojas de cafe This liquid dark way Este liquido oscuro muy The kiss of coffee El beso de cafe Two eyes sleepy, thin Dos ojos sonolientos, delgados Dawn dark but coffee Amanecer oscuro pero cafe - Spanish translation by Sharon our mountain journey will give me three days unstoned, which will be a stone unto itself. i can use the straight time off. |
