En noches como ésta

Perro de Luna

«Perro de Luna» (Rufino Tamayo)

Me reconcilio con el tiempo

con el dolor

con el recuerdo

con la inspiración

con la belleza

con el  rostro boteresco

de la luna

con su  brillo.

Y asimilo

y asumo

y acepto

esta miprofundacomplejaenraizadaintensa forma de amar

y entonces

me siento

libre

y en paz.

It was you

Bird

I know it was you who lit me up.

I know it was you who  whispered

don’t be afraid.

I know it was you who held me

who holds me.

It was you

who said open your eyes

who said  look at the mountain

who said

go deeper

deeper

and  deeper

to silence the noise

the sound of  fear

the sound of  grief.

I know it was you who said look at  the rain

deep, deeper in  the rain

when I saw that bird

standing

fearless

in front of me.
