A Diary of the Plague Year: Day 6 22 March 2020: Another Nazim Hikmet Poem
My love, my rose,
my journey across the Polish plain has begun:
I’m a small boy happy and amazed
a small boy
looking at his first picture book
of people
animals
objects, plants.

A Diary of the Plague Year: Day 6 22 March 2020: Nazim Hikmet Poem
These men, Dino
who hold tattered shreds of light
where are they going
in this gloom, Dino?
You, me too:
we are with them, Dino.
We too Dino
Have glimpsed the blue sky.
On a Painting by Abidine, entitled The Long March
