We raise our arms <br />The street climbs into the sky <br />We lower our eyes <br />The roofs go down into the earth <br /> <br />From every pain <br />We do not mention <br />Grows a chestnut tree <br />That stays mysterious behind us <br /> <br />From every hope <br />We cherish <br />Sprouts a star <br />That moves unreachable before us <br /> <br />Can you hear a bullet <br />Flying about our heads <br />Can you hear a bullet <br />Waiting to ambush our kiss <br /> <br /> <br />Trans. by Anne Pennington <br /> <br /> <br />Anonymous submission.<br /><br />Vasko Popa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/far-within-us-1/
