Street poem

[mount_oregano]

Author: Unknown.
Location: The intersection of Fuenterrabia and Andrés Torrejón Streets, Madrid, Spain.

No te quedes inmóvil (Don't stand still)
al borde del camino (at the edge of the road)
no congeles el júbilo (don't freeze the joy)

no quieras con desgana (don't want it half-heartedly)
no te salves ahora (don't avoid it now)
ni nunca (or ever)

no te salvas (don't avoid it)
no te llenes de calma (don't be calm)
no te reserves del mundo (don't hold back from the world)

— Sue Burke, photographer and translator

That's wonderful! Thank you for posting and translating. I love the poem, and find the idea of street poetry delightful. Practice random acts of poetry!
