    Antonio Gamoneda

    Side by side

    DAWN approaches

    DAWN approaches. Night still covers your wounds.

    Now the knives of day arrive. Don’t

    undress in the light, close your eyes.

    DAGERAAD

    DAGERAAD. Over je wonden ligt nog de nacht.
     
    Reeds komen de messen van de dag. Nee,
     
    ontbloot je niet in het licht, doe je ogen dicht.
    © Vertaling: 2010, Bart Vonck

    VA A amanecer. Hay noche aún sobre tus llagas.

    Ya vienen los cuchillos del día. No

    te desnudes en la luz, cierra los ojos.
