Musua

Nire titiak txikiak dira eta begiak biribilak.
Zure zangoak, luzeak eta freskuak
iturritik behera datorren zurrusta bezala.
Hozka egin dizut zaman,
sendoa duzu, heldu gabea oraindik,
intxaur erori berriaren antzeko.
Nire gainera igo zara eta musuka hasi sabelean,
uhin umelak barreiatu dizkidazu azalean,
orain hemen, gero han,
ekaitza hasi baino lehen erortzen diren
lehen tanta lodiek bezala, pla, pla, pla.

Lo geratu gara bizkar eta bular,
biltzen diren moduan ezpainak
hasperenaren ostean.

Kirmen Uribe was born in Ondarroa, in Spain’s Basque Country, in 1970. After receiving his university degree in Basque philology, he did postgraduate work in comparative literature in Trento, Italy, and has worked as a teacher, translator, and scriptwriter.

He writes a weekly column for the Basque-language daily Berria, and has published essays, stories, comics, and children’s books, one of them shortlisted for the Premio Nacional.

In collaboration with Basque musicians Mikel Urdangarin and Bingen Mendizabal, he worked on a multimedia project—combining poetry/prose, video, music, and oral history—that was documented in the 2001 CD-book Bar Puerto. A similar collaboration led to the 2003 Zaharregia, txikiegia agian / Una manera de mirar / Too Old, Too Small, Maybe.

His first collection of poetry, Bitartean heldu eskutik (Meanwhile, Take My Hand), won Spain’s 2001 Premio de la Crítica, and has been translated into Spanish and French. The Spanish translation, Mientras tanto dame la mano, was published in June of 2004 by Visor. In English, his poems have appeared in Open City, The New Yorker, Circumference, and other magazines, and have been featured in spoken-word venues in New York and on the West Coast, as well as at The International Poetry Festival in Vilenica (Slovenia), the Samhain International Poetry Festival in Donegal, Ireland, the 2004 Literature Without Borders workshop in Käsmu, Estonia, Poetry Festival 2005 in Berlin, and other literary gatherings in Europe.
