Para subir al cielo se necesitan
dos alas, un violín
y cuantas cosas
sin numerar, sin que se hayan nombrado,
certificados de ojo largo y lento,
inscripcíon en las uñas del almendro, títulos de la hierba en la mañana.
To rise to the sky you need
two wings,
a violin,
and so many things, incalculable things, things without names,
a license for a large slow-moving eye,
the inscription on the nails of the almond tree,
the titles of the grass in the morning.
Extravagaria (U Texas Press, '94)
