First Ice By Andrei Voznesenski (Translated by George Reavey)




A girl freezes in a telephone booth.
In her draughty overcoat she hides
A face all smeared
in lipstick and tears.

She breathes on her thin palms.                   
Her fingers are icicles.  She wears earrings.

She’ll have to walk home alone,
Along the ice-bound street.

First ice.  The very first time.
The first ice of telephone phrases.               

Frozen tears glisten on her cheeks–
The first ice of human hurt.


Teacher Ramirez Opinions:
Well, for me this poem is about the first experience about something, and if we read better the poem, is about depressing, cold, or lonely; an strong and deep emotion is expressed in this poem; I will like to know some first experience in your life!
