Poema “50” por Xánath Caraza

Poema “50” por Xánath Caraza

 


50.

 

Mueve su remo.

 

En silencio hiende

la densa agua del Hudson.

 

Oscuras melodías.

 

La luna llena marca

un hilo de plata.

 

Titilantes espejos llevan

el dolor de la gente.

 

Caronte sigue su camino.

 

Desde el fracturado tiempo,

se pierde en la niebla.

 

 


50.

 

He moves his oar.

 

Cleaving in silence

the dense water of the Hudson.

 

Dark melodies.

 

The full moon marks

a thread of silver.

 

Twinkling mirrors carry

the pain of the people.

 

Charon continues his path.

 

Out of fractured time,

losing himself in the fog.

 

 




Poem “50” is included in Hudson (2018).

Original in Spanish by Xánath Caraza

Translation into the English by Sandra Kingery
