Tr Carlota Caulfield

Already bleeding
The sun gets up
In the morning

To look at the quietude

Of the wood. To go down

To the abyss.

Distant shore.
Her body remained tangled in
My thoughts.

Where some winds
Catch up to other winds
A fish pierced the moon.

The moon caws
From the raven’s
Sharp branch.

The snow looks at the moon.
The moon looks at the snow.
White dialogue.

---

Ya sangrando
El sol se levanta
En la mañana.

Mirar la quietud
De la madera. Abocarse
Al abismo.

Lejana orilla.
Quedó enredado su cuerpo en
Mis pensamientos.-

Donde unos vientos
Alcanzan a otros vientos,
Un pez atravesó la luna.

Grazna la luna
Desde la afilada rama
Del cuervo.

La nieve mira la luna.
La luna mira la nieve.
Diálogo en blanco.
