Jack Hirschman (December 13, 1933 – August 22, 2021)

 





       Sempre Caro Amico

                            to Jack Hirschman

On a day of the full moon
news reached me 
that my old revolutionary
poet laureate friend 
of nearly fifty years
has left for the realm
of the ancestors.
The poet-warrior leaves 
a hole no words can fill, 
not even the horde 
of words of his arcana,
major and minor and
between. Caro, he always 
addressed me and signed 
off, sempre. Yes, always 
sempre, sempre caro amico mio.

        Sempre Caro Amico

                                a Jack Hirschman

Un día de luna llena
me llegó noticia 
de que mi viejo amigo
revolucionario poeta laureado 
de casi cincuenta años
se ha ido al reino
de los ancestros.
El poeta guerrero deja 
un hoyo que palabras 
    no pueden llenar, 
ni aun la horda 
de palabras de su arcana,
mayor y menor 
y mediana. Caro, siempre 
me dirigió y se firmó 
sempre. Sí, siempre 
sempre, sempre caro amico mio.
