POEM WITH CAT

Like the cat
the poem denies itself caresses.
It plays
it moves whimsically
it searches for the highest place
it jumps
it rejects the unsheltered place
it descends
it scents
it scratches
it keeps away carrion
ashes
it silently leaves solitude
and the word.

POEMA CON GATO

POEMA CON GATO

Como el gato
el poema se niega a la caricia.
Juega
camina caprichoso
busca el lugar más elevado
salta
rechaza el sitio inhóspito
desciende
husmea
escarba
aleja la carroña
las cenizas
deja en silencio la soledad
y la palabra.
