Nazim Hikmet - It`s This Way
Work rating: Low

I stand in the advancing light,
my hands hungry, the world beautiful.

My eyes can`t get enough of the trees—
they`re so hopeful, so green.

A sunny road runs through the mulberries,
I`m at the window of the prison infirmary.

I can`t smell the medicines—
carnations must be blooming nearby.

It`s this way:
being captured is beside the point,
the point is not to surrender.
