Mario Benedetti: Turning Point (EN)

I was only young
'til yesterday
starting today
I'm old

from queasy well-being
to easy malaise
just the slightest
swing

in any case
I acknowleded the change
with a sharp
comical pain
that began in my left
forearm
and paused ever so briefly
near my heart

but the celebration
didn't end
there

I also 
felt faint
just a bit faint
while a few thoughts
crossed my mind
which of course
are 
confidential.

-- translated by Louise B. Popkin
