CONSTRUÍEM PARAULES DE CIMENT
Construíem paraules de ciment
i creàvem paraules de silenci.
La finestra entreoberta, la finestra,
el marc de la foscor més grisa i ampla.
Si et parlava, tancaries les mans
i tu no deixaries que em parlaren,
si et besava, tancaries els ulls
i tu no deixaries que em besaren.

WE BUILD WORDS OF CEMENT
We build words of cement
and create words of silence.
The half-open window, the window,
the frame of a greyer and wider darkness.
If I spoke to you, you would fold your hands
and would not let them speak to me,
if I kissed you, you would close your eyes
and would not let them kiss me.
Translated by Anna Crowe
