Carlos Drummond de Andrade - Boy Crying In The Night

Описание

In the warm, humid night, noiseless and dead, a boy cries. His crying behind the wall, the light behind the window are lost in the shadow of muffled footsteps, of tired voices. Yet the sound of medicine poured into a spoon can be heard. A boy cries in the night, behind the wall, across the street, far away a boy cries, in another city, in another world, perhaps. And I see the hand that lifts the spoon while the other holds the head, and I see the slick thread run down the boy's chin, and slip into the street, only a thread, and slip through the city. And nobody else in the world exists but that boy crying. Carlos Drummond de Andrade poemhunter.com/poem/boy-crying-in-the-night/
