DO NOT SPARE YOURSELF
by Mario Benedetti
translated by Maria Popova
Don’t stand immobile
by the aspect of the street
don’t petrify your pleasure
don’t need with reserve
don’t spare your self now
or ever
don’t spare your self
don’t refill on tranquility
don’t declare from the world
solely a quiet nook
don’t let your eyelids fall
heavy as judgments
don’t stay lipless
don’t go to sleep unready to dream
don’t suppose your self cold
don’t deem your self out of time
but when
despite all of it you’ll be able to’t assist it
and petrify your pleasure
and need with reserve
and spare your self now
and refill on tranquility
and declare from the world
solely a quiet nook
and let your eyelids fall
heavy as judgments
and stay lipless
and go to sleep unready to dream
and suppose your self cold
and deem your self out of time
and stand immobile
on the aspect of the street
and you’ve got been spared
then
don’t remain with me.
