Francisco X. Alarcón (2/21/54-1/15/16)

Tanka for Francisco X. Alarcón

 

The wise old ones said

only flower and song lasts,

that all that lives dies.

My poet friend lived fully;

the words he wrote will go on.

Tanka para Francisco X. Alarcón

 

Los viejos sabios decían

Que sólo la flor y canto perdura,

Que todo lo que vive muere.

Mi amigo poeta vivió plenamente,

las palabras que escribió seguirán.
