The Human Touch

20 September 1945 At this late hour this fall night I am full of your words: words eternal like time and matter, naked like eyes, heavy like hands, and sparkling like stars. Your words came to me, they were from your heart, mind, and flesh. Your words brought you, they were: mother, woman, and comrade. They were sad, painful, happy, they were hopeful, brave — your words were human... Nâzım Hikmet English translation by Randy Blasing and Mutlu Konuk
