Travel
her want to laugh, a loud
sound of voices echoed
sitting in their seats,
seemed the gag them
and looking out
the windows of the bus,
the leafy trees
colgaban cientos de nidos de loros.
El señor parlanchín de adelante,
estiró su asiento hasta mis rodillas,
todo me apretaba hacia mí misma.
Cuando comencé a escribir el silencio se hizo.
Sólo quedaron despiertos la mujer tejiendo
y el hombre con la computadora.
fenced fields were visible throughout its length.
The mill still felt lonely,
the sky was clear, and very nearly endless.
Suddenly a yellow crane struck the landscape,
like another planet.
The river looked away,
'tawny'
topped the field as
and heat había escondido a los pájaros.
De pronto un sembrado color mostaza me ilumina,
escuché la voz del corazón
y la lengua pegada al paladar sabía a violetas.
Un tropel de nubes como corceles alados divulgando la noticia;
venían de lejos,
se sabía por el color… venían de a dos.
Era tal el mensaje no one was exempt.
Nothing was the same from that moment,
was reached further
and courage was the instrument available.
salt seas singing became solar.
Those horses were turned into dolphins,
appeared the holy river and blue
drank mustard field of blue water.
who saw seemed so intense that tears came.
