This Is Just To Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS


Me he comido
las ciruelas
que estaban en
la hielera

y que
probablemente
guardabas para
el desayuno

Perdóname
estaban deliciosas
tan dulces
y tan frías


"This Is Just to Say", de William Carlos Williams (1883 – 1963)
