Quotation: The Hurricane

Here, translated by Alida Malkus, is a quotation from Puerto Rican poet Pales Matos.

When the hurricane unfolds
Its fierce accordion of winds,
On the tip of its toes,
Agile dancer, it sweeps whirling
Over the carpeted surface of the sea
With the scattered branches of the palm.
