Voyage of Discovery | A poem by Benjamin Peret, 1928
Adolf Hoffmeister,  Benjamin Peret, 1964
.

He was alone
in the depths of alone-alone
A loner to her loner
he was going it alone
That makes two loners
two loners in a low-alone

A low-aloner does not last long
but that’s enough when one is alone
in the depths of alone-alone

Benjamin Peret, Voyage of Discovery, 1928
Translated by Marilyn Kallet
