by César Vallejo

Translated by Robert Bly

I will die in Paris， on a rainy day，

on some day I can already remember.

I will die in Paris——and I don't step aside——

perhaps on a Thursday， as today is Thursday， in autumn.

It will be a Thursday， because today， Thursday， setting¹ down

these lines， I have put my upper arm bones on

wrong， and never so much as today have I found myself

with all the road ahead of me， alone.

César Vallejo is dead. Everyone beat him

although he never does anything to them；

they beat him hard with a stick and hard also

with a rope. These are the witnesses²：

the Thursdays， and the bones of my arms，

the solitude³， and the rain， and the roads. . .
