Poems by People I Saw While I Was Away (or translated by people I saw while I was away)

Crickets

Crickets plant their blue flags
atop the evening
with tiny glass hammers.


Summer Music

In its embers, summer
is grilling a cicada,
intimate flesh of the tree.


from Micrograms by Jorge Carrera Andrade
translated by Alejandro De Acosta and Joshua Beckman (Wave Books, 2011)
