Poem
José Manuel Arango
XLVIII
in what arduous countriesin what obscure war
without knowing it
have I fought and triumphed
to have you
while you
secluded in your adolescence
evading the trials of a resplendent
solitude
were preparing for me

XLVIII
XLVIII
por qué arduos paísesen qué oscura guerra
sin saberlo
he combatido y triunfado
para tenerte
mientras tú
retirada en tu adolescencia
sorteando las pruebas de una soledad
esplendorosa
te preparabas para mí
