Winter trees

Winter trees - William Carlos Williams

there’s no one at all

there’s no one at all

staying there for me to lean on

only in tough times

we know well each other.

 

there’s no one at all

caring about my hurt

who is standing there ridiculing me

who is trampling my soul cruelly?

 

there’s no one at all

giving me any luck or pieces of happiness

every day is not Saturday

so when is my heyday?

there’s no one at all

allowing me to be beside

only when reaching the extreme impasse

do I dare to use the final tear

to send me out of the world which used to treat me

as a superfluous man.

 

there’s no one at all…
