Hi ha tanta carn, als meus malsons

Silencio la tierra va a dar a luz un árbol.
Vicente Huidobro

Hi ha tanta carn, als meus malsons,
que em llevo suada com d'haver-te deixat entrar
a l'estació humida de l'Índia, i recordo
només olors —el so de la teva veu, de sitar—
i jo, majestuosa vaca, m'ofreno al dia.

My nightmares have so much flesh

Silence: the Earth will give birth to a tree.
Vicente Huidobro

My nightmares have so much flesh
that I wake up in a sweat, as though I'd let you inside
a rainy season in India, and I recall
just the smells ―your voice, a sitar―
And me as a mighty cow, offering up to day.
