LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI. THE LEAVES DANCED TO MOZART

THE LEAVES DANCED TO MOZART

The leaves danced to Mozart
above the world's static

It was an art they could understand

It was as if
some god were listening
through them
and dancing with them
ecstatic

LAS HOJAS BAILARON AL COMPÁS DE MOZART

Las hojas bailaron al compás de Mozart
por encima de la estática del mundo

Era un arte que podían comprender

Era como si
algún dios estuviera escuchando
a través de ellas
y bailando con ellas
extático
