"Where did you come from? asks the customs' official.
And we answer: From the sea!
Where are you going?
To the sea, we answer.
What is your address?
A woman of our group says: My village is the bundle on my back."
from Athens Airport (12)
liked "I Talk Too Much" and "The Last Train Has Stopped" but they're too long to fit in the update.
beginning to doubt a little if it is the best translation out there tho.

"Where should we go after the last border? Where should birds fly after the last sky?
Where should plants sleep after the last breath of air?
We write our names with crimson mist!
We end the hymn with our flesh.
Here we will die. Here, in the final passage.
Here or there, our blood will plant olive trees."
(from 'Earth Presses against Us' (9))
