Subes y bajas con traducción al inglés por Rubén Ramírez Palacios
The clouds from the east of the city
exert pressure
and go out one more time to hunt ghosts
while someone yells: La ropaaaaaa!
the search is between stairs,
while you go up
spirits flee downward.
the memories of the elderly
they live in the walls,
a crystal flower
slams against the pavement,
While
life dries up in the sun
like beer and urine:
you go up and down.
you go up and die,
come down and live,
like a snail, you go around
in your own shell.
you go up and down,
that neither rise nor fall
If not the opposite,
the swings
with wounds in the panties
and sugar slides
low very to the egg
you go up and down.
sometimes you are god
living in a crystal flower,
others the devil
living in panties
that end up on the floor.
sometimes you are sun
and you have all the questions
for infinity
you go down like the moon
and when you fear because you already saw
the answer
you go up into the void.
connect the dots
and the entrails go out of you,
you put your feet on your fears,
from that point
emptiness seems
tiny.
you go up hermetic
because your pose prohibits you
to believe in God.
low and energy
the universe is crushing you
Slowly
until you see yourself kneeling
with your hands on your chest
praying for one more climb.
you go up and down
and the feet do not find sustenance,
fear, again, to recognize
that your last arrow carries the design
voracious
metaphysical
from the unheard of source
of Love.
