Poem

Antonio Gamoneda

Side by side

I LOVED the disappearances

I LOVED the disappearances and now the last face has left me.

I have passed through the white curtains:

now there is only light in my eyes.

IK HAD de verdwijningen lief .

IK HAD de verdwijningen lief en nu is het laatste gelaat uit mij weggegleden.

Ik ben dwars door de witte gordijnen gelopen:

niets dan licht in mijn ogen.

AMÉ las desapariciones y ahora el último rostro ha salido de mí.

He atravesado las cortinas blancas:

ya sólo hay luz dentro de mis ojos.

IS IT light this substance that birds traverse?

I SAW

IT SWIMS in your spirit

IT ENTERS your body and

AN ANIMAL, concealed in twilight

DAWN approaches

I HAVE TRAVERSED beliefs

BLUE oil on your tongue

IT WAS

THE INFECTION is larger than sadness

I LOVED the disappearances

I LOVED the disappearances
