As Nancy is about to leave for 3 weeks on her summer trip, I was thinking about the time we’d be apart and found a poem that touched me. I wanted to pass it along and wish you both a great trip. Looking forward to seeing you in Marfa.
“I heard splashing on the boat Her bare feet And sensed in our faces The hungry dusk My heart swaying between her And the street, the road I don’t know where I found the strength To free myself from her eyes To slip from her arms She stayed, crying through rain and glass Clouded with grief and tears She stayed, unable to cry Wait! I will come Walking with you.”—Miguel Otero Silva, Venezuelan poet and novelist, born in 1908.

ReplyDelete“I heard splashing on the boat
Her bare feet
And sensed in our faces
The hungry dusk
My heart swaying between her
And the street, the road
I don’t know where I found the strength
To free myself from her eyes
To slip from her arms
She stayed, crying through rain and glass
Clouded with grief and tears
She stayed, unable to cry
Wait! I will come
Walking with you.”—Miguel Otero Silva, Venezuelan poet and novelist, born in 1908.
