the night, the sea by Roberto Bolano

The girl looking out the window
of the hotel. Oh words escape me, an imaginary Barcelona,
midnight on the street, people are happy,
the boyfriend, stars like gems encrusted
on a book that the foreigner will never finish reading
(at least in this lifetime), the night, the sea,
happy people leaning out an open window.

All the sadness of these years
will be lost with you.
