Yannis Ritsos
The up and down of sparrows builds the day.
Windows let in the light like ships.
The bee slumbers upon a leaf.
The woman doesn't leave the house. Just her sandals.
Forgotten since yesterday evening at the coast
they breathe calmly, a yellow butterfly in blue light.
from Small Dedications (1960-1965) [Collected Poems Delta' -- pg 141]
