Lost in translation

["Por la noche/rayos invisibles se disparan..."(Mala Rodríguez)]

[...]
Yet more and more time passes silently.
Outside the wind's incomplete unrest
builds and disperses clouds about the sky.
And dark towns heap up on the horizon.
None of this cares for us. Nothing shows why
At this unique distance from isolation
It becomes still more difficult to find
Words at once true and kind
Or not untrue and not unkind.
-
[Philip Larkin, "Talking in Bed"]
