On the sign:
PREMONITION

The owl sings.
a plaintive overture
to interruption.

The burden of the scorching sun
gives way.

In the blossoms
of an ancient cactus
pure light
sketches the entrails
of history.

Its frail purple hand
trembles on the verge
of fortune:

On the thin leaf
of memory
the green lash
of time paints
cherries in tender
water.

From indian chalices
emerge premonitions
of absent blood.

-Lucha Corpi, translated by Catherine Rodriguez-Nieto

Comments:
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.

The current plaque features a poem written by the Mexican-American poet Lucha Corpi (1945), who studied at the University of Berkeley, and later coordinated Chicano Studies at the University of Berkeley
