Daily Concerns (English)

I want to be concerned
again
about tomorrow’s weather

***

These days of shelter
are appropriate to remember
those daily concerns,
those insignificances.

***

Spring enters softly
through the window of my room
and the seagulls court
over the rooftops.

***

It is sure that our storm
will stop,
but the world
-our world-
will not be the same.

Esmoliciones Cotidianes (Asturian)

Naguo por esmoleceme
otra vegada
pol tiempu que fadrá mañana.

***

Estos díes d’abellugu
son afayadiegos pa remembrar
eses esmoliciones cotidianes,
eses andrómines.
***

Caltria la primavera sele
pela ventana’l mio cuartu
y cortexen les gaviluetes
perriba los teyaos.

***

De xuru qu’abocanará
la nuesa galerna,
pero’l mundiu
-el nuesu mundiu-
nun sedra’l mesmu.
