it's this way

by nazim hikmet

1 i stand in the advancing light,

my hands hungry, the world beautiful.

2 my eyes can't get enough of the trees—

they're so hopeful, so green.

3 a sunny road runs through the mulberries,

i'm at the window of the prison infirmary.

4 i can't smell the medicines—

carnations must be blooming nearby.
