Hugo Jamioy Juagibioy

IN THE GROUND

It is not that I am forcing
my son
to hard labor
in the ground;

it is only
that I am teaching him
to pamper his mother
already at his young age.

EN LA TIERRA

EN LA TIERRA

No es que esté obligando
a mi hijo
a trabajos forzados
en la tierra;

solamente
le estoy enseñando
a consentir a su madre
desde pequeño.
