“I want play but back hurt. If I no can play good, I no help team. So I wait until pain goes away. I no swing bat good, no run good, no catch ball like old times. I try but pain, she too much. Some days, no pain. Other days, pain all time. Some days pain so much I theenk maybe I quit baseball. But I need money so I play baseball.”

Roberto Clemente (1934–1972) Puerto Rican baseball player

“When you wake for certain
Will you still be hurting?”

Becky Stark (1976) American singer

When You Wake For Certain
Imagine Our Love (2007)
Context: On a winter's day
we were children
all the while ringing
one by one All though the day
All through the night time And we fell so hard,
looking out of the window
And we fell so far, into the night When you wake for certain
Will you still be hurting?

“You don't even realize you're living in a before until you wake up one day and find yourself in an after.”

We're quits: stupid to draw up a list
of mutual sorrows, hurts and pains.”

Untitled last poem found after his death; translation from Martin Seymour-Smith Guide to Modern World Literature (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1975) vol. 4, p. 235
