Excerpts from Translations

Benjamin L. Perez

Toska
The endless other
Of the void’s silhouette.

Lítost
Infinite winding-sheet
For a stillborn god.

Alpenglow
Sanguinary summit;
Executioner’s block.


Benjamin L. Perez used to teach Philosophy at the College of the Marshall Islands; now he reads and writes poetry in Fuchu, Japan.
