Literatura

No t’ha besat i ha marxat amb pressa,
i ha arribat a casa, i ha encès l’ordinador,
i ha escrit no t’he besat, no t’he besat la boca
i ara què en faig jo d’aquest voler-te als llavis.

En fa literatura. Només literatura.

Literature

She didn’t kiss you and she left in a hurry,
and arrived home and switched on the computer
and wrote I have not kissed you, I have not kissed your mouth
and now what shall I do with this need for your lips.


Make literature. Just literature.

Translated by Graciella Edo and Ester Pou.
