Ode to the present
by Pablo Neruda
(fragment)
This
moment
as smooth
as a board,
and fresh,
this hour,
this day
as clean
as an
untouched
glass
-not a single
spiderweb
from the past:
we touch
the moment
with our fingers,
we cut it
to size,
we direct
its blooming.
It's living,
it's alive:
it brings
nothing
from yesterday
that can't be
redeemed,
nothing from
the past.

Men, brooding like gods
watch a simple female figure
curled like a shivering cat
on slats of splintered wood.
Hair a dirty blond
lies still and limp
around her pinched face,
eyes closed tight against
the mist of an outside world
and all its blood being shed
like widows tears.
Unaware of an observers eye
she continues to sleep
underneath the insufficient warmth
of her devoted kitten, the blanket
more of a burden than comfort.
Silently a man peers through
an unbiased lens, its film
capturing her life's toil
in less than the tick
of a clock's second hand.
Kitty sitting pretty,
while master sleeps.
Wake, I'm hungry.
An orphaned kitten, meek and small
An orphaned girl-child, thin and tall
A single bed placed in the hall
I've seen the writing on the wall
good job....
Quietly slumbering...kitty loving...beautiful dreams...
